Forward drive, for smaller boats
Uniquely engineered to pull your boat through the water, not push it, the forward drive petrol engine is versatile and flexible in design, offering a new, unrivalled level of versatility to enhance every aspect of boating. Better manoeuvrability for water sports and a quieter, comfortable ride for cruising makes the counter-rotating duoprop a winner on the water, and because exhaust fumes are discharged under water the forward drive engine is a winner on deck too:
- Suitable for smaller boats
- Exceptional performance and manoeuvrability
- Outstanding fuel economy
- Greater low speed handling
- Fast acceleration
