In an industry dominated by outboard-powered vessels, MAKAI Power Catamarans differentiates itself by unveiling a debut model equipped with 2 x Yanmar 8LV 370 hp inboard diesel engines. This decision stems from the company’s firm belief in the exceptional capabilities of inboard engines.
So why exactly did MAKAI choose inboard diesel engines over conventional outboard motors? The answer lies in a careful consideration of factors such as fuel economy, reduced sound levels, and increased safety. Unlike outboard motors, which are bulky and produce significant noise, inboard diesel engines offer unparalleled efficiency, more deck space and quiet operation. This translates to enhanced comfort for passengers and reduced environmental impact—an essential consideration for conscientious sailors.
Moreover, MAKAI’s propulsion system enhances safety by ensuring a clean entrance of the transom, minimizing the risk of water ingress and optimizing performance in diverse marine conditions. By eliminating the protruding lower units associated with outboard motors, MAKAI boast a sleek and streamlined profile, enhancing maneuverability and reducing drag.
But the advantages of MAKAI’s propulsion system extend beyond fuel efficiency and safety. Thanks to advanced lithium-ion battery technology, MAKAI’s inboard diesel engines have the ability to generate electricity, providing auxiliary power for onboard systems and accessories. This innovative integration of power generation capabilities further enhances the versatility and functionality of MAKAI power catamarans, enabling sailors to embark on extended journeys with confidence.
The uniqueness of MAKAI’s inboard diesel engines lies not only in their fuel efficiency and safety features but also in their inherent reliability. Diesel inboard engines outperform their outboard counterparts in terms of fuel efficiency and performance, ensuring peace of mind during extended voyages.
In addition to inboard diesel engines, MAKAI offers the option for stern drives or highly innovative QSPD surface drives, further tailoring the propulsion system to meet the unique needs of each sailor. The unique QSPD Surface drives offer unparalleled efficiency and speed gains, thanks to their innovative design and minimal maintenance requirements. With MAKAI’s commitment to technological innovation and excellence, users can rest assured that their propulsion needs are in capable hands.
MAKAI Power Catamarans’ propulsion system aims to offer high performance, efficiency and safety through their choice in propulsion system. By leveraging the power of inboard diesel engines and innovative surface drive technology, MAKAI power catamarans offers unparalleled performance, efficieny, reliability and comfort in their new MAKAI M37.
