The boat has a reinforced transom to allow the fitting of a small outboard motor. [1] For sailing the design is equipped with transom-mount mainsheet traveler and can be sailed by one person, although a crew of two is used for racing. When sailed three people may be carried and as a motorboat it has a capacity of five people. [3]
An outboard motor is a propulsion system for boats, consisting of a self-contained unit that includes engine, gearbox and propeller or jet drive, designed to be affixed to the outside of the transom. They are the most common motorised method of propelling small watercraft.
Although that standard stern transom is typically vertical, they may be raked such that there is an overhang above the water, as at the bow. A reverse transom is angled from the waterline forwards. [3] On smaller boats such as dinghies, transoms may be used to support a rudder, outboard motor, or a wind-generator pole.
A trolling motor is a self-contained marine propulsion unit that includes an electric motor, propeller and control system, and is affixed to an angler's boat, either at the bow or stern. A gasoline-powered outboard used in trolling , if it is not the vessel's primary source of propulsion, may also be referred to as a trolling motor.
This new driveshaft housing was three inches shorter which in turn lowered the motor's center of gravity on the boat which helped turning ability, reduced the strain on the boat's transom and motor's clamp brackets, and decreased underwater drag while increasing top speed as less gearcase was below the boat.
The boat may be fitted with an inboard motor or an outboard motor of under 30 hp (22 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The outboard motor is mounted on an off-center transom bracket, to de-conflict with the rudder. The fuel tank holds 18 U.S. gallons (68 L; 15 imp gal). [1] [3]
