THE AQUAMASTER CONCEPT

Shipowners and skippers around the world call every azimuthing thruster an "aqua- master". This should come as no surprise since the original Aquamaster is the trend- setter in the propulsion business.

However, for total economy, superb manoeuvrability, maximized comfort and ruthless reliability - there is only one choice - the original Aquamaster 360° propulsion system - the professional's choice.

Check your standards and call us.

The Speed Drive is comprised of a 6R 183 TE92 MTU diesel, a reverse reduction gear and a stern propulsor.

The heart of the system is a surface- piercing propeller, a type often used by offshore racers.

The engine's compactness and re- liability, the low weight of the gear- ing and the surface-piercing propel- ler design combine to offer the user optimum performance.

Drip-Free Shaft

Packing For Yachts

For vessel owners with bad expe- riences with the quality or mainte- nance of the stuffing box packing, which protects a vessel's shaft, a re- cently released product may help.

Drip-Free Shaft Packing, which contains teflon and hydrocarbons, is advertised as being "self forming," so that even pitted shafts won't leak.

And because the shaft is lubricated by the packing material rather than seawater, it is reportedly drip-free.

Also, because there is less friction, the company claims that some own- ers may even experience an increase in engine rpm.

According to Jim Johnson, the distributor of Drip-Free Packing, the packing should be good for the life of the boat, and that the packing gland rarely must be tightened.
