Python-Drive:
A flexible drive-shaft
The Python-Drive is a unique modular drive system specifically designed to pass the maximum amount of power from the engine directly to the hull - and not through the engine blocks!
By separating the pushing power of the propeller from the vibration of the engine, and overcoming the need for perfect shaft alignment, the Python-Drive not only reduces the inevitable strain and wear on your driveline as a whole, but also decreases the accompanying vibration and noise passed through the hull. This is kinder for the engine and makes for a quieter, 'smoother' ride.
Units from 10-1000HP
Boat builders and fitters, hire fleets and individual owners across the UK and Europe are already enjoying the benefits in engine efficiency and reduced driveline maintenance, and the piece of mind offered by this engineering marvel. Whether harnessing 10 or 1000hp, a maintenance-free and robustly built Python-Drive system guarantees a Constant-Velocity drive shaft runs at its recommended rpm - easily maintaining optimum engine output - even with unequal angles in the driveline.
We have prepared more detailed information covering technical and commercial considerations of Python-Drive installation as well as providing detailed installation instructions and product info in 'pdf' format.
