TRANSMISSION:

TURBINE MARINE is also the first to implement the use of a custom designed dry-sump hydraulic transmission on Turbine applications. This combined with our custom designed electric over hydraulic braking system, with environmentally sealed micro switches built-in to the shifting levers, makes for flawless conventional shifting without any buttons or pedals to push. The Turbine output reduction gearbox is equipped with a torque metering system that we utilize by installing a torque gauge in the dash. This allows the driver to monitor the amount Ft./ lbs. of torque the Turbine is delivering to the out-drive at any given time, so that one can limit the chance of over torquing, in return increasing reliability.

LUBRICATION:

The Turbine is equipped with a dry-sump oiling system with a 12 qt. oil capacity. TURBINE MARINE uses a polished stainless steel oil tank and Aeroquip braded stainless steel lines with anodized aluminum fittings on all its oil lines for maximum durability and esthetic appeal on all its installations. The dash is also outfitted with oil temperature and oil pressure gauges for monitoring all functions.


FUEL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATION:

The jet turbine fuel system is based on an Aero-motive height pressure fuel pump with a billet fuel / water separator plumbed in the fuel line before entering the Turbine. The system also has a return to the tank for any unused fuel. All fuel lines are braded stainless steel with anodized aluminum Aeroquip fittings, and we also install a fuel pressure gauge so fuel pressure can be monitored by the operator. There is also a fuel shutdown recovery system built in. (Every time a Turbine is turned off it must drain about 1 pint of fuel out of its main fuel manifold, which allows the turbine to stop running). Some Turbine installers let this fuel dump into the bilge and it gets pumped out with the water in the bilge.

TURBINE MARINE’S system recovers this fuel in a tank that is located in the bilge, and at the time the ignition key is activated to start the Turbine it pumps the fuel back into the fuel tank where it can be safely used again. Turbines can run on multiple fuel combinations; Jet A, Kerosene, Diesel, Diesel and unleaded gas ( 75%D 25%G Mix ), or a combination of all fuels mentioned. However Jet A, or Kerosene, are recommended because they burn very cleanly and odor free.
