Pod Drive System

Product catalog summary

Overview: The ZF POD 2500 & 2800 Series is a marine propulsion system designed for medium-sized pleasure crafts, offering enhanced safety, comfort, efficiency, and maneuverability.

Safety: The system features aft-facing propellers protected by the pod gearcase and skeg. The pod is mounted in a tunnel, aligning with the keel depth to deflect debris. The skeg is designed to shear upon impact with substantial objects, minimizing damage.

Comfort: Counter-rotating propellers and large rubber mounts reduce noise and vibration. Engine exhaust is vented through propeller hubs, minimizing emissions.

Features: Includes drive-by-wire steering, joystick control, electronic throttle and shift, trim-tabs, auto sync, single lever, dock mode, troll, warmup, and display.

Maneuverability: Controlled by ZF’s SmartCommand and JMS, each pod moves independently for excellent turning efficiency. The system includes electric power steering and optional automated trim-tabs for improved performance.

Efficiency: Suitable for crafts 30 to 48 feet with engines up to 480 hp. Offers up to 15% faster speeds and 30% better fuel economy compared to traditional systems. The system is compact and light, ideal for popular-sized crafts.

Technical Specifications: The document provides detailed model ratios, power capacities, and weight specifications for the ZF POD 2500 and 2800 models.

Additional Features: The JMS allows intuitive control with a joystick, including the optional “iAnchor” function for precise positioning using GPS.
