Otsego, Minn., Sept. 21, 2017
- Crestliner Boats, along with Brunswick Boat Group's
freshwater brands, is partnering exclusively with marine accessory
manufacturer MarineTech Products to incorporate Panther XPS, a
hybrid cable and hydraulic power steering system, into its aluminum
boats.
"We view this partnership with MarineTech as a
huge step forward in technology for our line-up," said Jake
Mirabal, Crestliner Product Manager. "We're always looking for ways
to make performance more efficient and intuitive, and the Panther
XPS helps accomplish just that."
The Panther XPS combines cable and hydraulic
steering by using stored power that delivers high-pressure
hydraulic fluid to a patented cylinder so the pump only operates
when needed, as opposed to typical pumps that run continuously or
turn on when the steering wheel receives steering input. This
results in the XPS using only 10 percent of the typical run time
for power-assisted systems, delivering huge power savings and a
reduced risk of draining the battery.
The Panther XPS's hybrid steering system also
reverts to cable steering in the unlikely event of a power
hydraulic system failure, giving Crestliner owners added peace of
mind while out on the water.
"We're so pleased to be working with such a strong
company to unveil this power steering system," said Larry
Grundtner, president of MarineTech Products. "Crestliner will be
able to offer their customers an innovative product at a great
price, and the partnership will lend a lot of credibility to the
Panther brand, as well."
