The wheel of the sea, The propeller!
Imagine having an engine with all the power and torque in the world, but if you can’t efficiently transfer that power into the water, it’s like using a handheld whisk instead of a high-performance tool. It’s akin to fitting skinny tyres on a tractor, a clear mismatch. That’s why efficient power transfer is crucial in marine operations.
Thanks to our innovative belt drive technology and lower unit design, the OXE diesel outboard stands out as the only engine that accommodates standard “off the shelf” propellers and can also handle up to a 17-inch diameter propeller. This unique feature translates to enhanced water grip, superior torque and power transfer efficiency, and increased bollard pull. These advantages are crucial for commercial operators, particularly those using landing craft, workboats, and crew transfer vessels (CTVs).
Proteum has worked closely with MMP to develop the perfect propeller to complement the increased torque of the OXE diesel outboard. The OXE outboard and MMP combination operate on over 30 diesel outboards daily throughout the UK.
