ZF Reveals Transmission Repower Series ZF 3100 A for Sport Fishing Boats

Compact yet powerful, ZF's new ZF 3100 A repower transmission series has been purpose-designed for sport fishing boats, allowing these vessels to achieve maximum speed, acceleration, and low-speed manoeuvrability.

The ZF 3100 A repower series delivers a massive power range, from 1,900 to 2,444 HP at 2,300 RPM, and features a lighter, compact design that weighs 108 kilograms (240 lbs) less than comparable products.

In addition to helping sport fishing boats reach maximum speed with incredible handling on the water, the ZF 3100 A is shorter in height and length, allowing owners to install engines lower in the vessel.

This frees up space for other components during repowers and new construction.

"We designed the ZF 3100 A repower series to provide sport fishing boats with a transmission option that takes up less space with less weight, yet still provides incredible power while under way," said George Lewis, head of product line commercial-fast craft, North/Central America and the Caribbean for ZF.

"Whether an owner is looking to reclaim space for larger engines or wishes to reduce a boat's overall weight, this robust, innovative gearbox is an ideal solution to gain greater speed and flexibility."

The ZF 3100 A series uses a 10-degree down angle and common componentry to ZF's existing 3000 series, enhancing future serviceability and interchangeability.

The ZF 3100 A series' height, length and offset dimensions are 81.83cm, 60.19cm and 30.22cm, (32.22", 23.7" and 11.9") respectively.

Currently four models are available in the series: ZF 3150 A (1901bhp@2300rpm PC), ZF 3155 A (2001bhp@2300rpm PC), ZF 3160 A (2256bhp@2300rpm PC), and ZF 3170 A (2444bhp@2300rpm PC).

Industry-leading warranty options, including an extended warranty, are available with these models.
