KEY FEATURES
Advanced Engine Protection: Features a built-in rev limiter that cuts in at 6,250 RPM and an automatic speed reduction down to 3,000 RPM to safeguard the powerhead if oil pressure drops.
Quiet & Smooth Operation: Utilizes a through-the-prop exhaust to redirect noise underwater, paired with a large-volume air intake silencer to significantly suppress air induction sound.
Upfront Shift Lever: The ergonomic shift control lever is positioned conveniently on the front of the motor rather than the side. This design allows the long tiller arm to fold back tightly against the upper cowl for hassle-free transport in car boots.
Superior Corrosion Shielding: Constructed with a high-grade marine aluminum alloy and finished with a high-solid, 2-part hardened acrylic resin paint coating. Internal water passages are lined with zinc coatings and the water pump housing features a stainless steel liner for maximum longevity in saltwater.
Shallow Water & Maneuvering Drive: Offers six manual trim positions, a strong full-tilt lock, and a dedicated shallow water drive setting to navigate low-depth waterways without grounding the propeller.
Optional Alternator Charging: Available with a 12V, 6A alternator kit for models requiring battery charging capability to power basic onboard electronics.
