ENGINEERED FOR
MAXIMUM THRUST
Surface drive propulsion systems from 60 to 1,500 HP — delivering 15–30% speed gains and fuel savings for patrol boats, yachts, and commercial vessels worldwide.
WHY SURFACE DRIVE?
The surface-piercing propeller principle places propeller blades at the water surface — half in, half out. This eliminates the drag of a fully submerged drive, converting more engine power into forward thrust.
15–30% Speed Increase
Surface-piercing propeller design reduces underwater drag by up to 50% compared to conventional submerged systems.
15–30% Fuel Savings
Lower hydrodynamic resistance translates directly to reduced fuel consumption and lower operating costs.
Zero Cavitation
Propellers ventilate to the surface instead of cavitating under the hull, eliminating noise and destructive erosion.
Minimal Maintenance
316L stainless steel construction with adjustable propeller submergence. 200-hour oil change intervals.
Shallow Draft Operation
No fixed underwater appendages required. Ideal for shallow coastal waters throughout Southeast Asia.
ABS · CCS Certified
All systems certified by major international classification societies. ISO 9001:2015 quality management.
PRODUCT LINEUP

APPLICATIONS
From coast guard patrol boats in Southeast Asia to luxury yachts in the Mediterranean — TSD drives power the world's most demanding vessels.
High-Speed Patrol Boats
Coast guard and law enforcement vessels demand maximum speed and reliability. TSD drives deliver 15–30% speed advantage over conventional systems.
Luxury Sport Yachts
Premium yacht builders choose TSD for its superior performance, shallow draft capability, and whisper-quiet operation at high speeds.
Sport Fishing Vessels
Professional fishing fleets benefit from TSD's fuel efficiency gains of 15–30%, dramatically reducing operating costs on long offshore trips.
Racing & Performance Boats
Competition-grade surface drives engineered for maximum thrust efficiency. Zero cavitation at high speed means consistent, predictable performance.
