UNPRECEDENTED EFFICIENCY.
Before now, azimuth drives up to 350hp have been challenged with inefficiencies; needing big power input for small power output.
​
The HDS produces 66% MORE POWER from engine to propeller when compared to similar drive systems.
This means less wear on the entire system, huge fuel cost savings, and a vessel that
puts the power down where it counts most.
FULLY MODULAR.
Designed to be easily installed into any azimuth drive opportunity, the HDS system makes and integrating your drive system hassle free!
Having a modular system also allows for reduced maintenance inventory and the ability to ensure you get the right system for your application.
