Services and transmissions at ZF Marine work together perfectly

ZF Marine produces one of the best marine transmissions in the country since 1935. Even though there are modifications and upgrades from the previous lightweight version to a new range of accessories and transmissions such as mechanical and electrical shift, two-speed setup for both outboard and inboard propulsion, auto-troll, trolling valves, coolers, Power Take-In (PTI), and Power Take-Off (PTO) innovation, torsional couplings, brackets, and 105S FNR for ZEUS Pods tracking gears transmissions, the customer support, and product quality remain the same. Currently, operators can easily reach out to transmission professionals at ZF to discover recent develop projects, repowers, repairs and consultations of inboard recreational and commercial boats

The Senior Manager, Pleasure Craft, for ZF’s Industrial Technology Division (Central and North America), Keith Stanley stated that ZF Marine are producing top-notch transmissions for many years and has established a solid reputation for high-quality products, which has generated a lot of loyal customers that require vessel propulsion. He continued that during his duration of employment in the company, several vessels have operated for up to 30 hours with the ZF transmissions without having any issues.

Although products from ZF are highly reliable and efficient, the reality surrounding the industry of marine transmission is that innumerable amount of brands produce similar products with an equally good standard, fit performance, and price. Top customers are aware of this but choose to always opt for ZF.

According to Stanley, their products are reliable and trusted, but two major attributes that have helped them to be outstanding are their product portfolio and service.

These two attributes are the global services network of the company and the 24/7 service line that enables clients to reach out whenever they have inquiries about their repair projects, purchase aftermarket parts, transmission issues, or troubleshooting and consultations. Another attribute is the transmission team, that makes up of the principal engineer, Daniel Friedenberg, fondly called by Stanley as " application engineering’s Godfather".

Stanley indicated that David is very intelligent and an irreplaceable asset to clients. He continued that the entire team, which includes the engineering and sales team always exceed expectations when exploring and recognizing clients' applications to make sure they obtain the accurate model required to provide a solution to any issue they face. They make customer relationships of utmost importance.

Another distinguishing attribute of ZF is innovation. Recently, ZF collaborated with Mercury Marine, in order to manufacture the first ever two-speed that comes with an automatic shifting of 600-horsepower Verado outboard. This is a groundbreaking innovation that is bringing a change that is evident. Furthermore, the hybrid-efficient transmissions models that are commercially available are the ZF 40,000, ZF 24,000, 11.000, 9000, 5000, and 3000 series and there is more to be expected. The major benefit of installing a hybrid transmission is to limit emissions in vessel operations.

Also, ZF is working on “smart” transmissions cutting-edge version, that will come with predictive maintenance options and remote tracking.

Stanley indicated that customers with the SIREN Marine tracking system onboard can easily connect to ZF transmission. The installation of this SIREN system was pretty easy and provides a customized ZF software model that enables operators to instantly carry out remote tracking if the transmission temperatures and pressures are transmitted within the network. Other amazing features will also be introduced and they’re eager to inform their customers.

The team at ZF is devoted to offer the best and most precise transmission system for their customers together with easy installation and future support whether they operate recreational or commercial vessels.

Stanley stated that they have up to 90 years of immense experience designing and manufacturing boats, and a crucial aspect of ZF’s DNA is that they are extremely efficient which is part of their major strength, apart from implementing innovative processes and technologies. ZF transmission is undoubtedly the best choice for all vessel owners.
