3/31/2017 Manufacturing Having our own foundry with a capacity of 3.5 tons for NI-BR-AL, iron, bronze, manganese, stainless steel, aluminium materials, ensures that we can manufacture within a specific time limit and in doing so, achieve the utmost in quality. Our workshop, equipped with a wide range of the latest technology, allows us to manufacture all kinds of parts conforming to ISO tolerance specifications and to operate under the watchful eye of quality control organizations. France Helices’ production capacity allows the manufacture of shaft-lines up to 10 meters length, and CNC machine milling up to 4.5 X 2 X 1.6 meters. 3/31/2017

Surface Drive System Advantages 3/31/2017 Surface Drive System Advantages 15 % speed increase over stern drives Tremendous steering capacity at high speed ( U-turn in less than 2 boat length) The ability to use the boat in shallow water The guaranty of performance The reduction of maintenance cost (Especially over water jets) The possibility to carry out general maintenance without requiring specialised engineers. The small amount of spare parts to keep in the inventory A world-wide assistance in 24 hours for spares or technicians. 3/31/2017

Is a Surface Drive Advantageous for my Vessel? 3/31/2017 Is a Surface Drive Advantageous for my Vessel? It depends on the following factors: Surface drives operate best at top speeds over 35 knots Use of the vessel (Patrol, Interceptor, Dive, Ferry, Yacht) Hull Type (Planning hull) Engine Power Gear Box type 3/31/2017

3/31/2017 The SDS Package Each SDS surface drive is based on the same assembling principle. The drive is a mechanical package that transmits the engine power to the propeller. The SDS surface drive is composed of 7 main parts. The steering cylinder The trim cylinder unit The body The lower sphere unit The thrust box unit The shaft The propeller 3/31/2017

What makes the SDS different? 3/31/2017 What makes the SDS different? France Helices has over 100 years of propulsion experience Every SDS is designed to meet an application and vessel target speed (Using our unique, sophisticated software). Every project begins with a resistance calculation. France Helices is the only surface drive manufacturer that does this. France Helices designs and manufactures our own propellers. No sub-contracting. Highest possible quality of manufacture. All alloys are thoroughly tested and all units are computer and visually inspected multiple times before shipping. 3/31/2017

3/31/2017 Screw Selection France Helices manufactures the proper screws for each SDS quoted The screw is designed with the SDS Vessel target speed tolerance is within 1%. All propellers comply with ISO 484 Class S 3/31/2017

3/31/2017 Quality Standard warranty is 12 months from date of vessel commissioning. A special extended 18-month warranty is available at minimal cost. Propeller thrust 100% guaranteed. Vessel speed (within 1%) guaranteed under certain conditions. 24 hour service. 3/31/2017
