MD Sterndrive
AXIS DRIVE UNIT BENEFITS:
The unique Axis Drive power train design is like a Pod drive
mounted on the transom. It eliminates the universal joint as
found in traditional stern drives, ensuring that power transfer
from crankshaft to propeller is more direct and quiet, with less
power loss at the propeller. Most importantly, it allows full
power to be applied at all steering angles and trim angles.
The low drag bullet and pick up allow for high speeds.
The turning geometry of the patented integral axial steering
system ensures safer high speed turns and exceptional handling
characteristics at all speeds.
An electronically actuated dog clutch provides smooth, effortless
gear selection controlled by the ECU.
A constant trim speed of 3 degrees per second, irrespective of
load and speed. Trim range of -4 degrees to +33 degrees.
Installs using only 6 transom mounting bolts and 2 forward
engine mounts, plus plug and play electronics make it the
quickest and easiest installation possible
