Available for engines up to the NANNI N4.65, the Technodrive SP60 saildrive transmission system provides a unique and proven design to both the OEM manufacturer, and to boat owners.
It offers quiet and virtually vibration-free operation, very low water resistance under sail, and an increased propulsion efficiency due to the thrust direction being parallel to the boat’s waterline.
