Linssen Yachts, a builder of steel hull displacement yachts in Maasbracht, Holland, today announced that Mercury Marine will be its exclusive supplier of diesel inboard engines beginning with the 2022 model year.

“Mercury is thrilled to partner with Linssen Yachts, a driving force behind innovations in yacht building,” said Will Sangster, Mercury Marine president EMEA. “The Linssen team’s commitment to superior quality, matched with Mercury’s advanced offerings, will deliver outstanding value, performance, and owner satisfaction. Mercury’s diesel inboards offer the lowest sound levels, advanced control systems, outstanding performance and exceptional fuel economy, making them the perfect match with the Linssen brand,” Sangster said.

The Mercury Diesel 2.0 115HP inboard engine will be the first to be integrated with Linssen’s Grand Sturdy, SL, Variotop and Variodeck model series from 40-foot upwards by the end of 2022.

Linssen cited Mercury’s excellence in a variety of categories as an important factor in the partnership decision. Mercury diesel inboards feature exceptional fuel economy, unparalleled durability and corrosion resistance, a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system to minimize Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH), and SmartCraft Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) technology. Additionally, Mercury’s global service and dealer network allows consumers to easily arrange service and repairs.

Yvonne Linssen, commercial director for Linssen Yachts, shared her enthusiasm about the new partnership. “We will pair our expertise in new product design with Mercury’s expertise in propulsion systems and integrated parts and service platforms,” Linssen said. “We are excited about this strategic partnership and convinced it will result in enhanced product quality and better overall experiences for consumers.”

Greek-based Onda Tenders has delivered the new fully customizable chase boat following its debut at the Monaco Yacht Show.

 

 

“We had requests for a larger version of the 331GT, which we launched a couple of years ago,” says George Riginos, CEO of Onda Tenders based in Athens, Greece. “The smaller boat was quite beamy for its length, so it was quite a simple task to extend the hull to provide more onboard space and the 371GT has since replaced the original model.” 
 

Versatile and fast with ample seating fore and aft, the new model is fitted with twin Oxe 300hp outboards, the world’s first high-performance diesel outboard engines (although clients can choose their preferred propulsion system, inboard or outboard).

CZone releases its smartest, sleekest, and most compact digital switching module that is its most flexible and affordable module yet. The CZone Control X digital switching module uses the latest smart MOSFET switching technology and features fully configurable inputs.
 

Control X is CZone’s first IPX7 fully waterproof module giving more options to OEM’s and technical installers. “This opens up markets previously unavailable for digital switching due to space constraints and the requirement for fully waterproof systems.” Says Geoffrey Morrish, Product Manager Advanced Systems Group.

Features, such as multiple RGB lighting control zones, reversing motor H-bridge outputs and wiper motor synchronization, eliminates the need for additional 3rd party controllers. “The Control X allows installers complete flexibility to configure the module to suit their specific requirements while removing the expense of having unused module channels.” Continues Morrish.

Control X provides complete lighting control, including independent brightness of lights on the same color zone, smooth transition color effects and the ability to control lighting scenes from CZone circuits like party mode and night-time navigation.

Use Control X to synchronize up to 8 wiper motors on the same module and easily configure slow and high speed control as well as 3 unique intermittent timers in the CZone configuration tool.

CZone’s latest MOSFET technology eliminates the need for physical fuses with temperature monitoring and overcurrent protection in smaller, more reliable components. Capacitive touch buttons for manual override eliminates the need for the traditional manual fuse bypass. Control X works with 12 and 24v power supply and includes an ultra-low power consumption mode that draws less than 5mA.

Control X is compatible with all existing CZone systems. Available 2022
