Technical details
Producer:	Seatorque Control Systems (USA)

The Seatorque Enclosed Drive Shaft System represents a pinnacle in engineering development. The product has been designed in house by Seatorque’s engineering department, and the system offers ease of installation, effortless mechanical alignment, reductions in labour cost, and a 2 year or 250 hour limited warranty. With boat builders continually looking for time saving solutions during production SCS believes that the Enclosed Drive Shaft System can offer considerable savings and benefits. The boat owner gets a quieter boat with less service and maintenance.
In short the advantages to the manufacturer and boat owner are multiple including:
For the owner
•Noise and vibration substantially reduced
• Routine maintenance minimised
• No dripping stuffing box, thus bilges kept dry
• Increased axial stiffness greatly reducing the level of damage or risk of bending a shaft during a grounding
• Engine and transmission service life increased • Overall propulsion efficiency improved by approximately 8% allowing for greater fuel economy at cruising speeds with increased operational range
• Improved hull harmonics (due to reduced vibrations and noise) actually helps attract and raise fish for the sportsman See attached

For the yard
• Construction and labour costs slashed by op to 2/3rds
• Elimination of any intermediate strut and cutlass bearings
• No installation alignment difficulties and no post delivery engine re-alignment issues
• Total drive train supplier consolidation for the builder
• Noise and vibration substantially reduced
• Suitable for power and sail boats
Peter Stolper, President of Seatorque Control Systems, Comments: “The response to our new and innovative system has been amazing, and the results of exhaustive pre-market testing have more than been matched by systems fitted to customer’s yachts. We are already in discussion with some of the worlds foremost boat builders, and are developing a qualified International distribution network.”
