ManufacturingManufacturing
Having our own foundry with a capacity of 3.5 tons for NI-BR-AL, iron, bronze, manganese, stainless steel, aluminium materials, ensures that we can manufacture within a specific time limit and in doing so, achieve the utmost in quality.
Our workshop, equipped with a wide range of the latest technology, allows us to manufacture all kinds of parts conforming to ISO tolerance specifications and to operate under the watchful eye of quality control organizations.
France Helices’ production capacity allows the manufacture of shaft-lines up to 10 meters length, and CNC machine milling up to 4.5 X 2 X 1.6 meters.

Surface Drive System AdvantagesSurface Drive System Advantages
15 % speed increase over stern drives Tremendous steering capacity at high speed ( U-turn in less than 2 boat
length) The ability to use the boat in shallow water The guaranty of performance The reduction of maintenance cost (Especially over water jets) The possibility to carry out general maintenance without requiring
specialised engineers. The small amount of spare parts to keep in the inventory A world-wide assistance in 24 hours for spares or technicians.

The SDS PackageThe SDS Package
Each SDS surface drive is based on the same assembling principle. The drive is a mechanical package that transmits the engine power to the propeller. The SDS surface drive is composed of 7 main parts.
The steering cylinder
The trim cylinder unit
The body
The lower sphere unit
The thrust box unit
The shaft
The propeller

What makes the SDS different?What makes the SDS different?
France Helices has over 100 years of propulsion experience Every SDS is designed to meet an application and vessel
target speed (Using our unique, sophisticated software). Every project begins with a resistance calculation. France
Helices is the only surface drive manufacturer that does this. France Helices designs and manufactures our own
propellers. No sub-contracting. Highest possible quality of manufacture. All alloys are
thoroughly tested and all units are computer and visually inspected multiple times before shipping.
