The Importance of Water Tight Integrity for Aft Engine Boats!

Boats with engines located aft offer several benefits over mid hull mounted arrangements but also require attention to different maintenance items, one of them often overlooked that can cause serious engine damage. Most newer boats with aft engines are what we commonly refer to as “pod” drive but this applies equally to out drive arrangements and boats with Vee drives. Moving the engines aft provided several benefits: 1. The primary source of noise was moved out from under accommodation spaces and could more easily be isolated and better insulated making the boat quieter. 2. With pod and out drives a better shaft angle was obtained improving efficiency and /or upper end speed range. 3. Greater flexibility in interior arrangements and more storage. 4. Incorporated the use of joy stick control making maneuvering the boat easier. 5. More simple installation Contact East Coast Yacht Sales by emailing yachts@ecys.com or calling (207)846-4545.
