Unknown keel type
The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.91 - 2.01 meter (6.27 - 6.57 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.
Maxi Mixer may be equipped with an inboard Volvo Penta MD7B diesel engine at 17 hp (12 kW). Calculated max speed is about 5.1 knots
The fuel tank has a capacity of 50.0 liters (13 US gallons, 10 imperial gallons).
