  2. Sterndrive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterndrive

    Advantages of the sterndrive system versus inboards include simpler engineering for boatbuilders, eliminating the need for them to design propshaft and rudder systems; ease of trailering and shallow water maneuvering (with the drive trimmed up); also, a significant space savings with the engine mounted all the way aft, freeing up the boat's ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inboard_motor

    A 260-horsepower (190 kW) diesel inboard motor An inboard motor is a marine propulsion system for boats.As opposed to an outboard motor, where an engine is mounted outside the hull of the craft, an inboard motor is an engine enclosed within the hull of the boat, usually connected to a propulsion screw by a driveshaft.

  4. V-drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V-drive

    A V-drive is a power transmission system for boats that consists (usually) of two gearboxes, two drive shafts, and a propeller. Whereas the conventional arrangement sites the engine with its gearbox aft, driving the propeller shaft directly, in a "V-drive" layout, the engine is reversed, to have the gearbox in front.

  5. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    Marine propulsion is the mechanism or system used to generate thrust to move a watercraft through water. While paddles and sails are still used on some smaller boats, most modern ships are propelled by mechanical systems consisting of an electric motor or internal combustion engine driving a propeller, or less frequently, in pump-jets, an impeller.

  6. Saildrive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saildrive

    A saildrive is a transmission system for a boat whose inboard engine has a horizontal output shaft. The saildrive's input shaft is therefore also horizontal. That input shaft is geared so as to drive a vertical intermediate shaft extending downward through the hull.

  7. Volvo Penta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_Penta

    In 2005, Volvo Penta launched the first IPS (Inboard Performance System) engine, a new "pod type" boat drive system with counter rotating forward-facing propellers operated by a joystick. Its engines are used by more than 140 boat manufacturers, [ 4 ] including Tiara Yachts , Fairline Boats , Sunseeker, Riviera, Four Winns, Sea Ray, Hanse ...
