Research 2013 - Grand Banks - 43 Heritage EU

A larger cockpit, bigger staterooms and a second head are just some of the new features you'll find out aboard this successor to our acclaimed 41EU - the Grand Banks which revolutionized the modern trawler motoryacht for owners around the world. With precision joystick control, top speeds over 25 knots and solid fuel economy for displacement-speed cruising, the new 43EU offers greater space, better performance and more miles of on-the-water enjoyment than any yacht in her class.

LARGER COCKPIT
One of the great features of the EU or "Europa" style yacht is the ability to open wide the aft door and make one large indoor/outdoor living space from the salon to the cockpit. Now there's even more space to enjoy the great outdoors aboard the 43EU, with a cockpit 30% larger than the earlier 41EU model.


TWO-HEAD LAYOUT
New on board the 43EU, each generous cabin now comes with its own en-suite head - an incredible feature for a vessel of this size. The master head features a separate standing shower with seat, while the guest "wet" head also offers guest access through a second door to the companionway.


BIGGER STATEROOMS
Both the master and guest staterooms aboard the 43 Heritage EU have been updated to offer more living and storage space. Both cabins feature generous hanging lockers, and the master also features abundant storage in drawers below the large queen island berth.


NEW HULL-SIDE WINDOWS
New in the 43EU, oversized windows in both the port and starboard hull sides let in more light and beautiful views to the lower deck. The hatch atop the master stateroom is also large - a big and beefy Manship hatch that opens wide and secures tightly to keep out water.


LARGER FLYBRIDGE DECK
The flybridge deck of the 43EU extends longer than her predecessor's, with lots of room for a tender and the optional 800-pound-capacity davit. Up forward, the helm area features a centerline Pompanette seat, with room for two optional helm seats to port and starboard.


MORE FUEL CAPACITY
The 43EU features larger fuel tanks with 20% more capacity - now 600 gallons/2,271 liters - for greater cruising range. In addition, the 43EU tanks constructed from cross-linked polyethylene, which is virtually corrosion proof and structurally superior. Our tanks are also roto-molded, which makes them seamless and thus virtually leak-proof as well.


ZEUS PROPULSION SYSTEM
At the heart of the system are the Zeus pods - a pair of independently-steerable pods mounted to the hull in tunnels, each with counter-rotating propellers that completely replace the traditional shaft drive and rudder system. In addition to performance enhancements, gear noise and vibration are significantly reduced for a more quiet and comfortable ride. Engine exhaust is nearly eliminated by venting the emission through the propeller hubs, where the water flow takes it far back into the wake.


PRECISION JOYSTICK CONTROL
The twin pod drives of the Zeus propulsion system are connected to joystick controls at both the lower and flybridge helm stations, giving you pinpoint control of the boat in all directions - and makes docking in even tight fairways and close slips a simple, worry-free experience.


COMMAND HELM
There's great visibility forward and aft thanks to a raised helm platform with a storage locker underneath. A wide, custom helm seat provides plenty of comfort for extended cruising, with easy access to the starboard side door.
