In the nautical world, the quality of mechanical components is key to ensuring optimal performance, safe navigation, and prolonged vessel lifespan. One of the most critical elements in the engine room is the marine clutch, and in this field, Pitts "The Clutch People" products stand out for their reliability, precision, and cutting-edge technology.

Controlling maneuverability in ports and tight spaces.
Minimizing wear during starts and stops.
