Compared with conventional thrusters, TSD (Mobile Surface Drive System) has the following advantages:

Trimability: TSD's lifting and lowering function allows the propeller to match the engine horsepower output to the water intake, resulting in more power being converted into thrust and the engine operating closer to its rated power curve. The water intake of the propeller can be adjusted during navigation to achieve the best thrust angle under any load and sea conditions.

Safety: All important components of TSD are located in the cabin, away from harsh marine environments and protected from salt and water corrosion. All external parts that need to come into contact with seawater are made of stainless steel, minimizing the harm of seawater corrosion and prolonging the service life.

Efficiency: TSD's surface-piercing propeller design can reduce underwater resistance by 50% compared to traditional underwater propeller drive systems, with only the propeller blades and protective fins in contact with water, thus improving overall speed, acceleration, and effective payload power ratio while reducing fuel economy and operational costs.

In summary, TSD has significant advantages in trimability, safety, and efficiency.
