Higher Speeds / with Less Horsepower
Seafury installations achieve significantly higher speeds with the same engine horse power compared
to Conventional Propellers & Water Jets in the higher speed ranges.
Low Maintenance
Simple design and high quality marine manufacture, ensures extremely low maintenance and high
performance.
Fuel Savings
With Seafury’s design efficiencies, harnessing maximum torque and using carefully designed and
developed variable pitched blades, Seafury vessels travel further with the same fuel burn.
Advanced Highly Efficient Design
Seafury Surface Drives operate at water surface level, thereby eliminating the drag co-efficient of
conventional systems. This alone makes them 10 - 20% more efficient in the higher speed ranges of
25 knots plus.
Better Reverse Performance
Seafury’s unique 45° transom and specially designed propeller has the benefit of deflecting thrusted
water under the hull when reversing.
This significantly improves vessel handling and safety.
Less Propeller Damage
As the propeller is positioned aft of the transom, forward of the rudder and being only partially
submerged when in operation, there is minimal chance of propeller damage.
Quieter and Smoother
Advanced propeller design ensures Seafury Surface Drives produce a smooth and efficient propeller
performance.
Sooner to Plane
Seafury unique propeller design means craft are quicker to the plane with minimal lazy speed range,
e.g. approximately 10 seconds from idle to 40 knots for the 54 ton Puma Aero Marine’s stepped deep
“V” mono hull with twin 1,599 bHP diesel engines.
Protected from the Marine Environment
None of the hydraulic steering or articulated drive system is
exposed to the harsh marine environment, both reducing and
making maintenance easier.
 New Inboard Hydraulic Steering System
 No Exposed External Hydraulic Piping

Advanced Propeller Design
Seafury Propellers are designed to suit fixed shaft surface drive systems; the graduating pitch zones
ensure that the propeller is appropriately loaded throughout the speed range, negating the need for a
trimable drive.
Safer for Passengers and Crew
The design of the Seafury system protects the propeller from damage and protects people from the
propellers.
 Low Maintenance
 Minimal spares required
 Spares readily available
 Faster speeds achievable
 Reduced fuel consumption
 Reliable
 At higher speeds there is immediate response to driver commands with safe and predictable
handling. Driving the boat is both safe and economical.
