Maneuverability/Ease of Use Axius® is a revolutionary sterndrive package that provides maneuverability and performance on a level never before available. As the first fully intuitive sterndrive system for piloting a boat, it offers you entirely new ways to enjoy your time on the water – because it makes boating as easy for the novice as it is for the experienced boater. A Solid Foundation > Axius uses twin, individually articulating MerCruiser® Bravo Three® X and XR sterndrives with compact QSD Diesel engine packages. So boaters not only enjoy superb maneuverability and increased performance, but also benefit from season-long reliability. Axius also allows for easy upgrading to the MerCruiser-premium SeaCore® Sterndrive System – with hardcoat anodizing and an increased use of stainless steel – which makes it perfect for saltwater environments. Astonishing Precision > In addition to the amazingly smooth and responsive SmartCraft® Digital Throttle & Shift and variable assist power steering, Axius uses the industry’s best Joystick Docking System, which uses vectored thrust to effect complex boat movements. Since the drives work together but aren’t connected to one another, at docking speeds joystick docking allows Axius-powered boats to move sideways, forward, reverse, at an angle or even in a tight circle – all with a simple push or twist of the joystick. Unmatched Corrosion Protection. Unequaled Performance > Saltwater can take its toll on marine propulsion systems. This is why the SeaCore® System offers more than just improved corrosion resistance. It’s as close as a marine propulsion system can come to being corrosion-proof. In developing the revolutionary SeaCore System, we’ve moved the entire industry forward in a way that makes other saltwater sterndrives seem instantly inferior. Rather than just enclosing the drive components in a plastic shell, we protect them all the way to the core with industrial hardcoat anodizing and a closed-cooling system. All of which makes for the ultimate in corrosion protection. |
