POD DRIVE The POD Drive is one of the most efficient propulsion systems, specially made for twin-engined pleasure crafts of 50 to 75 feet length, and in triple or quad configuration suitable for yachts up to 120 feet length, where each pod can be driven by a diesel engine up to 1200 hp. This system offers an increased propulsion efficiency, compared to traditional drive lines, resulting in a speed increase and a significant reduction of fuel consumption at cruising speed. Products from VULKAN also find application in these modern drive systems. The connection between the diesel engine and the actual POD drive is made through an flexible coupling in combination with a cardan shaft or similar flexible coupling. Either MEGIFLEX B couplings in doublecardanic configuration, or VULKARDAN L couplings in combination with a cardan shaft, or the integral shaft support (with VULKARDAN E or VULASTIK L coupling) combined with a cardan shaft, are used.
