There was considerable interest in the Zeus pod drive coupled to a 530mhp Yanmar 6CX530 at the Italian show. Yanmar Marine also announced to launch two smaller Pods, for engines of 450mhp and below. All are the result of co-operation with transmissions company ZF Marine.

A compact, economical solution to the supply of onboard electricity for sailboats is being introduced by Yanmar Marine. The KMG65E generating system has been developed to work with Yanmar’s 3JH5 (39 hp) and 4JH5-AE (54 hp) diesel engines.

The generator is a mere 105mm deep and weighs just 21kg, fitting between the engine and transmission, whether standard gearbox or SD50 Saildrive. Boat owners have the choice of one or two remote power boxes, providing 3kW or 6kW at 230 volts, 50Hz. read more KMG65E brochure
