Arneson Surface Drives
Experience the Power of Quality

Performance on a Higher Level with Twin Disc Arneson Surface Drives.
For those seeking the ultimate in speed, maneuverability, efficiency and dependability, nothing matches the Arneson Surface Drive concept.  Arneson Drives are among  the most efficient marine propulsion systems in the world.  Their surface-piercing propeller design reduces underwater drag by 50% compared to conventional submerged propeller drive systems.  Thousands of these drives are successfully operating on pleasure craft, commercial and military applications throughout the world.

Better Fuel Efficiency:
Arneson Surface drives create 50% less drag than conventional drive systems with fixed underwater appendages.  As speeds increase, the efficiency advantage of an Arneson Drive is even greater, thus improving fuel economy and lowering operating costs.

Trimmable Propeller Shaft:
The propeller shaft angle is vertically adjustable, even while underway, thus enhancing performance versatility.

Positive Thrust Steering:
The Arneson Surface Drive angles the propeller in the appropriate direction of motion unlike conventional systems that vector prop thrust off an external rudder.

Responsive Maneuverability:
The Arneson Surface Drive's positive thrust steering gives you greater control because the propellers are located aft, behind the hull increasing steering leverage and improving maneuverability.

Shallow Water Capabilities:
Arneson Surface Drives give you access to shallow water areas because of its trimmable propeller shaft and no fixed underwater appendages.
