The Velvet Drive^® "71" and "72" designations indicate input horsepower ranges. There are two basic configurations of transmissions in the 71 and 72 ratings. The most popular model is the n-line unit. "In-line" indicates that the input and output shafts of the transmission are on the same axis. Direct drive versions of the in-line models are frequently used on high horsepower, light weight boats. The reduction ratio versions use an additional planetary gear set to allow the use of larger propellers for greater pulling power at lower shaft speeds.

The Velvet Drive^® V-Drive marine transmission is a compact, self-contained unit that helps create extra cargo and cabin space by allowing you to move your engines further aft. Because the V-Drive requires no universal joints, a potentially costly maintenance item is completely eliminated. The deeper offset of the Velvet Drive V-Drive marine gear allows easy propeller shaft alignment for quick, simple installation. A series of reduction ratios is available. Opposite propeller rotation can be provided for twin engine applications with two engines of like rotation.
