The Only Multiple Award Winning Inboard
Propulsion Alternative.
The BOSSTM system is the internationally
acclaimed Bolt On Shaft System by Seatorque Control
Systems.
The BOSSTM is a totally enclosed, oil
filled, self contained, shaft and thrust bearing
assembly, supplied as a complete unit from transmission output coupling to propeller end. Based
on over 14 years of research and development, and
covered by numerous Patent applications, the BOSSTM
delivers.
Rubber mounting to the hull structure, with a
flexible connection to the propulsion engine,
ensures shaft-line noise and vibration are
eliminated at the source. The non-rotating, full
length shaft casing and thrust bearing assembly
minimizes mechanical losses to only 2%, leaving
valuable extra power where you want it...for
propulsion. The BOSSTM further delivers
unrivaled ruggedness in operation coupled with the
lowest underbody drag of any system currently
available.

Installation Time Slashed
With the BOSS TM technology, engines and
shafts are installed within hours not days,
improving production economics by reducing labor
costs and shortening line time.
No time consuming and costly shaft/engine alignments
during vessel construction or after delivery. No
costly design changes required to existing tooling,
hull structure or engine installations.
Driveline Noise &
Vibrations Eliminated
By Rubber Mounting the system to the vessel, thrust
is delivered to the hull structure not the engine,
and noise is contained, not transmitted. The shaft
is supported full length within the outer casing,
holding the shaft straight and eliminating potential
shaft whip, the major cause of vibration. Thrust is
eliminated from the engine foundation, increasing
the life of engine isolators and reducing engine
vibration to the absolute minimum that the isolators
can provide.
No Installation Space Restrictions
The BOSSTM fits within the same amount of
space as a traditional system and will often take
less room when the builder takes advantage of the
free engineering support from Seatorque. No space
lost under cockpit soles or to aft cabin layouts.
Recommended for High Horsepower Applications
- No Horse Power restrictions, the BOSSTM
is available in ratings up to 3000 HP per shaft.
- Shaft diameters from 1 inch up to 4 inch in
production and up to 6 inch for special
applications.
- No costly, maintenance rich, small, complex, multi
engine propulsion packages, just to deliver the
horse power needed.
More Power Released for Propulsion, Without An Engine Upgrade
Reduced turbulence through the propeller due to the
non rotating shaft casing, plus eliminating cutlass
bearings and stuffing boxes allows for an average*
of 8% extra delivered Horse Power to the propeller.
Calculate the cost of upgrading to the next size
engine in Horse Power terms, and the BOSSTM
makes sound economical sense.
Reduced Drag
A traditional, exposed, spinning shaft produces
Active, Vortex, as well as Passive Drag. By
eliminating the rotational aspect of a traditional
shaft, only Passive Drag remains producing very
little in the way of robbed horse power. In short...
The BOSSTM system equals the lowest drag
factors claimed by any other systems on the market.
Peace of Mind
No outdrive type appendages, vulnerable to damage if
impacted or bottomed out. No additional gear cases
and shafts requiring regular routine maintenance and
repair. No costly multiple propellers to damage in
the event of contact with debris or worse.
Less maintenance and running cost
- 3000-Hour, or three-year extended maintenance
cycle, only involving changing the shaft oil.
- Major overhaul is recommended at 10,000 hours or ten years.
- No leaking stuffing boxes or dripless shaft seals, keep engines and bilges clean and dry.
- No more costly dockside service for engine re-alignment, or Cutlass bearing replacement.
- Increased propulsive efficiency ratings result in greater range through fuel economy.
Safety at Sea
No reliance on complex electronic control systems.
The BOSSTM is a mechanically engineered
solution, providing all the attributes that ocean
going vessels rely on, sound engineering principles.
Ease of Operation
No shaft rattling or banging. Backing down and hard
maneuvers are smooth and silent. Arrive at your
destination relaxed after a quite passage.
