For this boat size I think it's seakeeper 9 or 10. So 100k - 130k without installation.

@@DiSiProIncFrom what I’ve read it’s not the initial cost, but ongoing maintenance and rebuilds that are the real $$$

Thank you very much for your comment. We do not discreet people by gender, we believe in humans. Video showing men and women as well. Boats are made to be used by people.

Thank you Brent, your experience and insight make your comments always precious for us.

Thank you for your question. What kind of sail boat (type, length, etc)

@@grigoristzalavras5930 I'm torn between Jeanneau 64 and Hanse 675.

H K well these yachts are equipped with ~150hp engine. IPS600 packs 440hp and lots of weight and space. Also the design of the hull and the available interior space make it almost impossible for the yachts to be powered with ips600 or any ips. I could propose solar electric catamaran if sails aren’t mandatory for you.

@@grigoristzalavras5930 Thank you for your answer. Hmm. Are there any Volvo Penta IPS models with less powerful engines?

It’s no different to grounding with a rear facing pod or shaft. No matter what system your using some basic seamanship will save the day.

@@Smokeyr67 That's not true, a rear facing prop going a ground is dragging through it, a forward facing prop is hitting head on.

Same result, props bent and broken at best, pod torn off, shaft torn out at worst. At least the IPS drive won’t take on water, but a pulled shaft? Better man the pumps

You must be the inventor, sorry to ruffle your feathers.

rodeye2 no, I didn’t invent it, don’t own one, don’t have any financial interest in it, but I dislike it when people lacking in subject matter knowledge post a negative and incorrect opinion.

Thank you for your question. Actually negligible.

Its actually exhaust gases plus boiled water due to cavitation from prop tips

The engine exhaust is routed through the drive unit for quiet operation and eliminates any fume odors.

Dear Richard thank you for your comment. The noise is the clutch engaging.

I am new to boats, is this clutch engaging noise normal? Regards,

​@@kcryeung1 yes it is

Αγαπητέ Κύριε Φιλώτα Ευχαριστώ για το σχόλιο/μήνυμα σας. Είναι ευχαρίστηση μου να απαντήσω στα ερωτήματα σας. α).

Hi David, the exhaust is in a fixed location in the upper base, while the hole in the pod is rotating as the pod rotates. When the pod is not in 0 degree then exhausted gases aren't pushed through the pod. Thank you!

yes the gas is coming from the exhaust above when going sideways because otherwise it would move the boat slowly forward

Dear David thank you for your comment. Actually yes two throttles control three engines. The EVC is responsible for controlling the engines speed. You can actually see what happens when in various throttle positions.

Give me a pair of "morse" throttle controllers. If they are good enough for Faireys they are good enough for me! ;-)

Dear Henning, thank you for your comment. I am really sorry you don't like it. It is obvious that shooting is not professional as it was not intended to be. You are more than welcome to contact us for a sea trial. Maybe a Fjord 40 Open is your next yacht!

This is the water cooling the fresh water heat exchangers, after cooler and oil cooler. While on the sea sea water is sucked and circulated in the system returning back to the sea. On full throttle engine is using 13 tons per hour sea water and 23,5m^3/min of air.

That makes sense it seemed like a lot. Didn't think it exited through the pods like that. Thanks!

exhaust gases come from there too

That is not vibration it is only the cone not abolutely circlular, Volvo Penta replaced it!
