Marine Hardware
We manufacture precision-engineered marine hardware for propulsion systems in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Our products include couplings, rudders, shaft logs, and struts designed for durability in demanding marine conditions. These components ensure reliable performance for commercial vessels and recreational boats across North America.
Custom Drive Systems
Our custom marine drive systems are tailored to specific vessel requirements, combining advanced engineering with proven reliability. We design and produce specialized propulsion components that meet exacting performance standards. These systems enhance vessel efficiency while maintaining compatibility with various marine environments and operational demands.
Gear Manufacturing
We produce high-performance gears including straight and spiral bevel, spur, and helical designs using state-of-the-art machining technology. Our gear-cutting capabilities ensure precise tolerances and superior durability for industrial applications. This service supports both marine propulsion systems and diverse industrial machinery requirements.
Shaft Logs
Our comprehensive shaft log solutions include multiple configurations like flush, flange, and thru-hull styles for different vessel designs. These components provide watertight protection for propulsion shafts while allowing smooth operation. We engineer these critical safety components to withstand continuous marine exposure.
Struts
We manufacture various strut configurations including adjustable, angled drop, and performance models to optimize vessel propulsion systems. These structural components maintain proper shaft alignment while withstanding dynamic marine forces. Our struts enhance system reliability through precision engineering and robust construction.
