Multiple installations

Triple your strength

Our DPI Aquamatic Diesel Sterndrive is available for triple installation, powering boats up to 60 feet long. This allows you to achieve the same speed, grip, acceleration, fuel efficiency, and maneuverability as on a twin installation for the larger vessels of your operation.

Uncluttered transom. The compact design of our Aquamatic Sterndrive diesel solutions leaves the transom of your vessel clear. This allows your operation to optimize the space at the back of the boat for rescue runners, other vehicles, or additional work space for your crew.

Diesel sterndrive technology

The distinctive marine torque of our Aquamatic Sterndrive diesel sets it apart from other outboard engines. Its seaworthiness helps ensure rapid acceleration, improved maneuvering, and the ability to maintain high speeds in various types of ocean conditions.
To have everything in one unified system will be a great advantage. It looks fantastic and provides an excellent working environment.
