Design Versatility
Design your boat the way you want it, with the engine forward, aft or off-centerline. With the Geared Up System, you mount the engine level, without regard to the prop shaft angle to keep the floor as low as possible. This also means less interference in determining your ideal shaft angle.

There are three basic configurations of the Geared Up System, any of which will allow off-center engine installation.

Conventional Inboard Installation
Engine forward design has engine output mounted toward the stern in front of the drive system.

Vee Drive
If your boat design requires the engine to be mounted further astern, the Vee Drive configuration allows the engine to be mounted behind and alongside the drive system.

Jack Shaft Output
If you want power to outdrives, the Jack Shaft Output arrangement may be used in either conventional or Vee Drive configuration.

Durability
The Geared Up Systems are manufactured of corrosion-resistant aluminum cases, stainless steel hardware, and a replaceable fresh water passive cooling system. The raw water never comes in direct contact with the gear drive and is tapped from the engine cooling source. No additional oil pumps or oil lines are necessary.

Typical conventional drive installation:

  1. First, mount prop shafts, transmission, and final drive gear components in line.
  2. Next, mount engine and splitter gear box component conventionally using engine mounts to split the runout on each side.
  3. For production, a drop-in pallet system may be developed.
