  2. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

    Basic parts of an outboard motor. 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.

  3. Sterndrive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterndrive

    The outdrive unit of a boat with sterndrive. A sterndrive or inboard/outboard drive (I/O) is a form of marine propulsion which combines inboard power with outboard drive. The engine sits just forward of the transom while the drive unit (outdrive or drive leg) lies outside the hull.

  4. Z-drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-drive

    It does not refer to an electric motor in a rotating pod. The device is different from the Voith-Schneider marine propulsion system (also mechanically linked), which can also quickly change the direction of thrust, as the Z-drive uses a shrouded conventional screw that pivots or rotates the propeller, unlike the variable-geometry blades of the ...

  5. Cross-drive steering transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-drive_steering...

    A later design of cross-drive transmission, the Allison X1100, was used in the 1970s experimental US MBT-70 and XM1 [3] tanks, then later adopted in the M1 Abrams.This adopts a different principle for the steering cross-coupling: instead of a hydro-dynamic torque converter, it uses a hydrostatic combination of a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor.

  6. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_propulsion

    During the 20th century it was replaced by two-stroke or four-stroke diesel engines, outboard motors, and gas turbine engines on faster ships. Marine nuclear reactors, which appeared in the 1950s, produce steam to propel warships and icebreakers; commercial application, attempted late that decade, failed to catch on.

  7. Power steering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

    Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...

  8. Azimuth thruster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azimuth_thruster

    There are two major variants, based on the location of the motor: [citation needed] Mechanical transmission, which connects a motor inside the ship to the outboard unit by gearing. The motor may be diesel or diesel-electric. Depending on the shaft arrangement, mechanical azimuth thrusters are divided into L-drive and Z-drive. An L-drive ...

  9. Self-steering gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-steering_gear

    Direct drive, in which an actuator is attached to the steering quadrant, at the top of the rudder stock inside the boat. This is the least intrusive method of installation. Wheel mounting, in which a motor is mounted near the steering wheel, and can be engaged with it when in use. This typically involves either a belt drive or a toothed gear ...
