Belt Drive 5

POA
Belt Drive

This versatile power unit is great for day sailing yachts and keel boats, picnic launches and light-duty power boats.

Being air cooled allows no skin fittings making it faster and simpler to install. Pulleys and toothed belts are used to transfer the torque form the motor to a 25mm stainless shaft that runs through the base of the chassis, held through 2 frame bearings that handle all the radial and thrust loading from the propeller.

Designed for shaft driven propeller boats.

Choose from ratios to match common diesel gearboxes. (2.4:1) and (2.7:1) (for custom ratios please contact)

The target RPM for the prop shaft has a range of 950-1300 RPM. This can be programmed to suit existing propellers and stern gear capacities.

Inbuilt safety features include: Stall torque cut back, overheat, over torque, and over speed protection.
