Mar 03, 2009

The Dubai International Boat Show at Mina Seyahi recently saw FAMCO and Yanmar Marine showcasing a wide range of marine engines, the highlight being the Middle East debut of the latest Yanmar stern drive ZT350 engine.

Meeting all the renowned Yanmar qualities of performance, reliability, durability and respect for nature, the new engine has been designed, built and proven by Yanmar. It is the perfect match for Yanmar's BY and LP marine diesel engines, unsurpassed for new installations, and ideal for re-powering.

Offering low noise, corrosion protection and minimised maintenance, the new quiet, hydrodynamic engine features a new type of hydraulic clutch for exceptional smoothness, precision forged gears for extra-long life, two counter-rotating propellers for superb acceleration and tight-hold tracking, as well as large rudder dimensions for superior handling on single and twin engine boats.

FAMCO also attended a Middle East distributors meet held by Yanmar during the event to highlight the various features and advantages of their products. For pleasure boating, the worldwide reputation of Yanmar Marine is second to none. Dedicated to the needs and preferences of people who enjoy boating, and those who support them, all around the world, Yanmar Marine provides engines, drive systems and accessories for all types of boats, from runabouts to sailing craft, from cruisers to luxury power boats.
