Engine / Drivetrain

• Lightweight, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 16-valve, 1,470 cc, fuel-injected, 153-bhp, dry-sump, four-cylinder engine features a one-piece upper-crankcase / cylinder block engineered to withstand the rigors of marine duty. The low-emissions four-stroke design consumes less fuel than a comparable two-stroke engine and meets CARB three-star and EPA emissions standards.
• Side-mounted cam chain and ultra-narrow cylinder-sleeve spacing reduce engine size and weight.
• Crankshaft main bearings feature a micro-grooved bearing surface to improve oil retention and bearing durability as lateral loading occurs throughout a broad range of operating conditions.
• DOHC-actuated valves use a simple, lightweight and direct cam-over-bucket design.
• Four-valve cylinder-head design with a narrow 30-degree included valve angle creates a compact combustion chamber for optimum efficiency and power output at all rpm levels.
• Silent-type cam chain reduces engine noise, while an automatic chain tensioner reduces maintenance.
• Automatic idle adjustment eliminates the need to fine-tune.
• Winged intake grate provides a smooth flow of water to the impeller, reducing vibration and noise.
• Oil jets located on the crankcase main journal castings continually cool piston undersides, ensuring consistent operating temperatures and even better durability under maximum power.
• Four waterproof, transistorized, direct-ignition coils integrate the spark plug cap and the ignition coil to produce a high-voltage, long-duration spark, providing maximum performance at high engine output levels.
• Iridium-tip spark plugs produce maximum spark performance and minimal carbon buildup for consistent engine operation and long spark plug life.
• Air-intake system features an intake port mounted centrally in the hull and a labyrinth airbox construction with paper air filter. Together, they keep water out of the engine during normal operation and if the craft is accidentally overturned.
• High-pressure programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) delivers fuel to a single 54 mm throttle body. Fuel is delivered through four holes in each of the four injector nozzles, producing a highly combustible air/fuel charge for maximum combustion efficiency and power.
• The Electronic Control Module (ECM) provides digital 3-D fuel-injection maps for each cylinder, creating the ideal fuel mixture and spark-advance settings. A sophisticated throttle sensor and advanced fuel-injection mapping combine to produce smooth and linear throttle response, responding precisely to minor throttle changes to maximize driveability, acceleration and drive-pump performance.
• Special compact oil-cooled alternator also drives the oil pump, contributing to the engine's lightweight design.
• Engine cooling system allows water from the jet pump to circulate through the engine and be directly injected into the exhaust body, ensuring consistent operating temperatures and quiet operation.
• Cooling system design permits coolant water to drain easily from the water jackets for easy winterization.
• Dry-sump engine incorporates an oil reservoir mounted adjacent to the cylinder bank. The tank shape and location, together with a specially designed internal multi-baffle system, optimize engine lubrication under the wide variety of marine operating conditions.
• Engine output is directly coupled to the jet pump drive via a rubber damper, providing shock-free, efficient power transfer while minimizing lateral crankshaft-load forces.
• Axial-flow single-stage Solas 155 mm jet pump with three-blade impeller is precisely matched to the engine power characteristics.
• Pump-servicing features include easy-to-disassemble pump, driveshaft and driven coupling, and an easily accessible driveshaft-bearing grease fitting.

Hull

• Dry-sump design allows the engine to be mounted low in the hull, resulting in a very low center of gravity that contributes to the AquaTrax's exceptional handling performance.
• Raised bond-line design aids in docking and provides excellent splash protection.
• Sponson design further contributes to the AquaTrax's low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability.
• Strong, lightweight Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) hull and deck are permanently joined and sealed at the gunwale, providing the AquaTrax with a distinctive and attractive profile.
• The liner-type FRP inner hull with encapsulated styrofoam is more rigid than a typical single-hull design.
• AquaTrax hull is designed to be a stable platform when remounting from deep water and easily uprighted in the case of an accidental overturn.
• Foot-well areas have an anti-slip surface to provide sure-footed comfort when mounting, operating and dismounting.
• Forward-located, large-capacity 18.5-gallon polyethylene fuel tank is attached to the hull with rubber-cushioned hold-down straps. A two-way valve controls internal tank pressure and prevents water intrusion or fuel leakage if the hull is accidentally overturned.
• Abundant storage is available in three sealed compartments: a large 19.8-gallon front storage box located under the front hood, a 1.7-gallon compartment located in front of the rider and a 1.6-gallon rear compartment under the seat.
