The BorgWarner Velvet Drive is a renowned marine transmission system that has been a staple in the boating industry for decades. Known for its robust construction, smooth operation, and reliable performance, the Velvet Drive transmission has become a trusted choice for powerboat owners. Available in a variety of configurations, including manual, hydraulic, and electronic shifting options, the Velvet Drive system caters to different power requirements and user preferences. Its adaptability allows it to be seamlessly integrated into various boat types, from sleek sport boats to sturdy fishing vessels.

The Velvet Drive transmission is a vital component in the drivetrain of many marine vessels, acting as the bridge between the engine and the propeller. It effectively transfers power from the engine to the propeller shaft, enabling smooth acceleration, efficient cruising, and reliable maneuvering. The transmission also offers gear reduction, which allows the engine to operate at its optimal RPM range while the propeller operates at a slower, more efficient speed. This reduction in RPM not only improves fuel economy but also reduces engine wear and noise. Additionally, the Velvet Drive transmission incorporates a clutch system that allows for smooth engagement and disengagement, preventing jarring starts and enhancing the overall boating experience.
