The Beta 60 Saildrive package from Beta Marine US combines the Beta 60 marine diesel engine (36.5 kW / 56 hp @ 2,700 rpm) with a shallow sump and a saildrive interface. It is intended as a repower solution for sailing yachts with saildrive installations; recreational use only.

Saildrive configurations

  • With Technodrive SeaProp 60 saildrive: combined with Beta's special feet option it drops into existing Volvo or Yanmar saildrive GRP mouldings; Bukh replacements need Beta's optional GRP moulding. Clockwise or anti-clockwise output, reduction ratio 2.15:1 or 2.38:1; the leg can be turned 180° so the engine sits directly over the propeller. Package includes engine housing to mate with the SeaProp 60 bracket, through-hull fitting with twin diaphragm seal and engine fresh water cooling valve. Die-cast aluminium alloy transmission, hardened and corrosion treated, with sacrificial zinc anodes. Engine and leg ship together, packed separately.
  • With adaptor kit: housing adaptor plate allows the engine to mount directly on an existing Volvo 120S or 130S saildrive.
  • Optional SeaProp 60SD split anode kit lets the anode be changed without removing the propeller.
