'GoodNewz' from ZF Marine
ZF supplies the “Good Newz”: A recent collaboration between ZF Services Australia and LOMOcean has resulted in this sixty foot sport fishing boat, Good Newz. This is the first vessel of its kind to feature an entire driveline and control system sourced from ZF locally, with the SteerCommand electric steering system the very first installation of its type in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Good Newz comes with ZF 2000 A transmissions, shafts and propellers, as well as the full control system, including ZF SmartCommand, ZF SteerCommand, and the ZF Joystick Maneuvering System (JMSTM), which enables the iDrift and iAnchor functions.
