Boat water-jet drive 240 H.C.

Overview Turbodrive 240 H.C. is the smallest waterjet of the range available with the hydraulic clutch. Castoldi specially designed engine/waterjet close-coupling kits, which dramatically reduce the overall length and weight of the complete propulsion system, are available, for most engines on the market. Due to its compact dimensions and many unique features it is probably the lightest, most complete and efficient waterjet of its class on the market. Turbodrive 240 H.C. can be equipped with the ACES Electronic Control System. THE CASTOLDI TURBODRIVE 240 H.C. IS NOT ONLY THE RESULT OF ALL THE EXPERIENCE GAINED SINCE 1962 THROUGH THE SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF MORE THAN 40.000 WATERJETS WORLDWIDE. IT IS THE OUTCOME OF SPECIFIC INTENSIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITES AIMED AT FURTHER IMPROVING THE HIGH EFFICIENCY OF CASTOLDI WATERJETS. THIS GOAL WAS PURSUED THROUGH SELF-PROPULSION TRIALS IUSING 24 TRUE-SCALE MODELSI PERFORMED BY MEANS OF AN INSTRUMENTED LABORATORY BOAT. AS A RESULT. THE CASTOLDI TURBODRIVE 240 H.C.. IS THEREFORE AN ADVANCED TOP-PERFORMANCE HIGH SPEED WATERJET. FITTED WITH A SINGLE STAGE AXIAL FLOW IMPELLER, IT CAN BE DRIVEN BY A GASOLINE OR A DIESEL ENGINE. WITH A MAXIMUM OUTPUT OF 309 KW DEPENDING ON BOAT SPEED. THE TURBO DRIVE 240 H.C. IS A MASS-PRODUCED UNIT IN HIGH-STRENGTH MARINE ALUMINUM ALLOY CASTINGS ALLOWING IT TO MEET THE GOAL OF BEING A LIGHT AND STRONG PROPULSION SYSTEM. IT IS PROTECTED BY THE MOST UP-TO-DATE AND SOPHISTICATED ANTI-CORROSION TREATMENTS.
