POWER
Vazer is a sterndrive package based on a proven GM® 1.6-liter, 4-cylinder engine canted to 50 degrees, with a scrolled, “long runner” composite intake and tuned “tri-Y” exhaust header. Coupled with an all-new compact sterndrive, Vazer provides a reduced profile and a lower center of gravity: this means markedly improved handling and quicker planing. Additionally, the Vazer standard antifeedback power steering eliminates steering torque for effortless cruising and quick response. With its quiet and smooth operation, Vazer won’t intrude on your fun on the water.

FREEDOM
How can a sterndrive give you more freedom? Easy. Since the compact size and canted design of the Vazer enable it to fit beneath the rear seat or casting deck of smaller boats or underneath the deck of most pontoons, boat builders now have the freedom to design a better boat for you. One with more deck space, more seating and a better boat layout. Vazerpowered boats can even feature a heating system or hot water for a shower, thanks to the Vazer heat exchanger. This innovative feature extends your boating fun into cooler seasons, which means more freedom to do what you want – when you want – on the water.
CONFIDENCE
Vazer is designed to provide the utmost in boater confidence. Vazer is the world’s first self-draining sterndrive – when you pull your boat from the water, the water drains like an outboard. Its multiport electronic fuel injection technology delivers consistent turn-key starting. Vazer also offers easy, low-maintenance features like translucent fluid reservoirs and quick-connect flush port. That means years of trouble-free operation. Vazer comes standard with a four-year limited factory-backed, nondeclining warranty for Installation Quality Certified boats and a three-year limited warranty against corrosion failure. That means more peace of mind and confidence every time you’re on the water.
Less noise and vibration for a smoother, more enjoyable ride. A sleek, compact design for more boat space and water access. Less complicated ownership experience for more on-the-water confidence. Lower center of gravity for more stability and performance. Experience the power, freedom and confidence that only Vazer can deliver.
