With over 25 years of production experience in corrosion resistant
gear drive systems for the automotive, off-road, and industrial
applications, Geared Up Systems now provides the ultimate
drive system for the marine industry, the single engine twinscrew
drive.
Let Geared Up Systems assist you in laying out the optimum
system for your boats. The drive system offers many benefits
including maneuverability, economy, installation ease and
design versatility. Without changing your design, you could
be offering your customers new options with these advantages:
 |
Maneuverability: Independent
port and starboard transmissions allow maneuverability
previously found in twin engine boats only. Holding up
on a fishing spot, parking or docking (even in a river
or tidal current!), and positioning or repositioning a
workboat can be accomplished as easily as with a twin
screw, without the need for bow thrusters.
|
 |
Economics: The drive system
provides single engine economies, including the savings
in fuel, servicing, and layup, plus the savings of the
cost of the redundant engine, and the economics of pushing
a boat that weighs less and needs to carry less fuel for
the same mission capability.
|
 |
Better Boat: The system allows
the engine to be buried deep in the hull of the boat,
lowering the center of gravity. A shallower draft provided
by twin propellers, spread-out rather than under the keel.
Whether your boat needs the engine forward or astern,
or if you need an off-center line engine installation,
the System makes it possible.

 |
Ease of Installation: In all
installations, the engine, engine adapter and primary
splitter gearbox mount as a single unit. The final drive
gearboxes and/or marine transmission mount in alignment
with the propeller shaft. The splitter gearbox and the
final drive gearboxes are connected with the constant
velocity shafts or universals allowing for engine torque
within the mount and misalignment between the primary
and final drives. Propeller thrust may be terminated into
the final drive component or a thrust plate arrangement
that terminates into the boats stringer system. |
