Would anyone object to me adding some information to the editorial such as boats available in Europe with these drives? seeing as the zeus and IPS pieces listed builders using their system?
We or Seatorque don't just claim they are quicker to fit and reduce vibration and noise this is what builders say, here are a few quotes.
"We needed a silent system. We were very surprised how little vibration and sound the Seatorque system produced"
"The higher efficiency in speed was a very big bonus and has become another key selling point for the Marex 370"
"The product is accurate in dimensions, exceptionally well manufactured, and easy to install"
"The operational difference between a conventional cutlass bearing shaft and the Seatorque unit in terms of vibration and noise is so vastly superior that comparison is not possible"
"With a Seatorque shaft system the improvement in performance is actually noticeable"
"As yacht builders of around 300 boats over 25 years we can state categorically that no other shaft system can compare to the Seatorque unit"
It is not a new un tried system its been in use for over 10 years but just to a select few, now the factory is ramping up to cope with production builders it should be an option on many more quite soon.
So what you actually meant was would anyone object if I added a list of boats using Seatorque, and a load of sales propaganda /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Kind of, but if you read the article you'll see that the other systems are listed with the manufacturers using their systems which gives them credibility. The Seatorque piece left the impression that it was only Marex as yet that was using the system.
Seatorques have also been retro fitted to shaft drive boats, again the other drives don't easily suit retro fitting but this wasn't mentioned either.
