* 15% to 30% speed increase over conventional systems.
* 15% to 30% increase in fuel efficiency.
* More efficient than I/O's
* Corrosion resistant
* Size adaptability, from 100 hp to over 10,000 hp applications.
* Low maintenance requirements.
* Ability to adjust propeller submergence while underway.
* Ability to adjust submergence to match horsepower output permits conversion of more thrust as appropriately needed.
* Propellers ventilate to the surface rather than cavitate under the hull reducing noise and destructive hull and prop erosion.
* Flexibility in engine installation location.
* Less Vibration than Inboard or I/O applications
* Shallow water operation (elimination of underwater appendages).
* Accessible propeller servicing.
* Steerage by the positive thrust of the propeller and not by the propeller thrust to the rudder. This is equivalent to sports car rack-and-pinion steering performance.
* For all it's sophisticated performance, it is a less mechanically complex and fragile design than other propulsion systems.
* Most models are available in Magnesium Bronze or Aluminum.
* No limitations to shaft angle, blade top clearance, draft to restrict selection of optimum diameter propeller.
* Adaptable to a wide range of engine applications, whether gas, diesel, or turbine.
