   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 ...

4. Z-drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-drive

   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 Voith-Schneider.

5. Marine propulsion - Wikipedia

   Other vessels may have twin, triple or quadruple screws. Power is transmitted from the engine to the screw by way of a propeller shaft, which may be connected to a gearbox. The propeller then moves the vessel by creating thrust. When the propeller rotates the pressure in front of the propeller is lower than the pressure behind the propeller.

6. 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.

7. Outboard motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outboard_motor

   The pivoting design allows the outboard motor to be swiveled by the operator in almost all directions: Sideways for direction, up and down to change the thrust line according to speed or bow lift, elevate completely out of water for easy starting, placing the drive shaft and the propeller forward along the side of the boat for reverse, or put ...
