Powertrim Assistant automatically adjusts your boat trim to the optimum settings, matching the engine speed. This frees you from the need to trim the boat manually, contributing to enhanced performance and better fuel efficiency, so you can focus on driving with ease and enjoyment. 
For greater durability, the engine’s inner components are fully protected from exposure to salt water, brackish water or fresh water with our Closed Cooling system. This means simplified maintenance and higher resale value.
With our convenient Easy Drain solution, you can quickly and easily drain all the raw water from your engine with a single push of a button.
Speed Control allows you to concentrate on just having fun. The feature automatically adjusts the throttle to maintain constant engine speed during load changes; like when a wake boarder cuts hard, during turns or in shifting seas.
Our Aquamatic Sterndrive features Silent Shift, providing a seamless and soundless shifting for a smooth boating experience.

Delivering excellent performance and flexible transom design, our Aquamatic Sterndrive offers more advantages than many solutions.
