In-Depth Technology Highlights with Cruisers Yachts
When it comes to the future of boating, technology is where it’s at, and when it comes to Cruisers Yachts, these models are a step ahead. From Mercury Skyhook Digital Anchors to Ultraleather fabrics and even innovations from Seakeeper, Cruisers Yachts incorporates the best features into their models, making them even more technologically advanced while enhancing performance and the experience overall. Read on to discover more about the various types of technologies that have a profound impact on this iconic all-American brand.
Technologically Driven Engine and Performance
-
Outboard Engines
Boat and yacht engines are not like they once were. Means of propulsion today have become much more advanced, and Cruisers Yachts has adopted these measures as well. For instance, models such as the Cruisers Yachts 38 GLS outboard design have triple Mercury Verado engines, which have SmartCraft technology and innovative controls such as Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) controls with electro-hydraulic steering, making the craft easier to shift, drive, and has an instant throttle response. These engines are also Skyhook enabled, are extremely quiet, and have adaptive speed control, maintaining RPMs regardless of fluctuating water conditions.
-
Inboard Engines
An inboard model such as the Cruisers Yachts 50 FLY has a Volvo Penta 800 HP engine, which includes innovative features such as low noise levels, electronic controls, low emissions, and more. Besides the world-class performance and low fuel consumption, this engine can electronically integrate into the vessel's control system, which enables features such as a Volvo IPS Joystick and the Volvo DPS (Digital Positioning System) to allow for an assisted docking system. This engine also offers an additional ability to adjust your boat trim automatically to the ultimate settings with the Powertrim Assistant as an optional software package upgrade.
Seakeeper Gyro Stabilizer Technology
-
There are days when the ocean or body of water of choice doesn’t always remain calm—that’s where Seakeeper comes in. This state-of-the-art technology can be incorporated into every Cruisers Yachts model minimizing the pitch and roll during an on-the-water experience. -
Although the way a Seakeeper works may be difficult to imagine, the unit is extremely effective and quiet. To start, a high-speed spinning flywheel encapsulated in a vacuum seal begins the process of the Seakeeper’s job. When activated by a tilting motion from a rolling vessel, this intelligent device springs into action, counteracting the momentum by generating a powerful gyroscopic torque directly to port and starboard sides, taking 93% of the roll out of Cruisers Yachts vessels when on rough seas.
