SeaProp 60 saildrive package
The engine is fitted with a shallow sump and mated to a Technodrive SeaProp 60 saildrive which, with Beta's special feet option, drops into an existing Volvo or Yanmar saildrive GRP moulding (replacing a Bukh leg requires Beta's optional GRP moulding). The SeaProp 60 accepts clockwise or anti-clockwise output rotation, is available in 2.15:1 or 2.38:1 reduction, and the leg can be turned through 180 degrees so the engine sits directly over the propeller. The package includes engine, housing to mate with the SeaProp 60 mounting bracket, through-hull twin diaphragm seal and engine fresh water cooling valve. The transmission is die-cast aluminium alloy, hardened and corrosion-treated, with sacrificial zinc anodes; an optional split anode kit allows anode changes without removing the propeller.
Options
- Adaptor plate solution for mounting directly to an existing Volvo 110S, 120S, 130S, Yanmar SD20 or Bukh saildrive
- Control panels: A, ABV (standard), ABVW, B, BW, C Deluxe and CW Deluxe
- Alternative alternator arrangements with custom supports and pulley drives
- Custom-designed engine mounts to suit individual engine bearers
- Minimum recommended battery (not included): 12 V 70 Ah 450 CCA
