Engine Room


	This year's Seatec was not only bigger, occupying two of the larger halls, it had an improved layout and one feature that was much appreciated was "The Engine Room", an area devoted to everything to do with propulsion. This made it easy for time pressed visitors, with a specialised interest, to quickly assess and compare what was on offer.

Home produced engines on display included units from Iveco (above right), VM Motori (left) and Lombardini (above left).

In addition, there was a big choice of inboard diesel engine, from other European countries, including France, Germany - including Steyr (below right), Denmark and the United Kingdom.

American made diesel engines included Cummins Mercruiser (below left)

The “Engine Room” also had propulsion units from around the world: like the Australian Autostream self-feathering propeller (left), which has evolved through 8 models, over more than thirty years.

Italian company HYSY was showing its innovative modular thrusters (below left), which can be used for bow & stern manoeuvring and direct propulsion.

Making a first appearance at an Italian show was the Alamarin stern drive from Finland (below right).

Several US drive train manufacturers were also exhibiting, including Twin Disc (bottom).
