Yanmar has broadened its saildrive range with the introduction of the SD110 and SD150 models, specifically designed for monohulls and catamarans up to 20 meters in length. These new systems cater to the needs of owners of larger sailing vessels seeking efficient and dependable propulsion solutions.

The SD110 is compatible with Yanmar’s 4JH80 and 4JH110 standard rail engine models, while the SD150 is tailored for the more powerful 4LV150. Together, they offer a unique blend of common rail performance and saildrive efficiency, ideal for boats requiring enhanced output.

Engineered for seamless installation and operation, these systems feature hydraulic shifting and are compatible with Flexofold foldable propellers, which help minimize noise, vibration, and drag. Yanmar emphasizes that the compact, electrically controlled design streamlines production and installation, ultimately reducing costs for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
