KEY FEATURES
Duoprop Technology: The twin counter-rotating props eliminate "prop walk" (torque steer), providing superior straight-line tracking, faster planing times, and up to 30% better acceleration compared to single-prop drives.
Cone Clutch: The DP-S uses a mechanical cone clutch for shifting. This provides a positive engagement with minimal slippage, though it requires proper adjustment of the shift cables to prevent "clunking" or wear.
Water Intake: The S-drive has water intakes located on the front and sides of the lower gear housing to supply raw water to the engine cooling system.
