SHAFTING The propeller hub has an oil shrink connection to the conical aft end of the shaft. The shaft is hollow bored and supplied with a control rod which connects the propeller mechanism to an inboard servomotor within the reduction gear output shaft. The shft is made from stainless steel EN1.4418. Tail shaft and pssible intermediate shafts are made in lengths to suit the vessel. SHAFT BRACKET The shaft brackets are made with NACA-profile and single leg to give correct water flow to the propeller. The brackets are cast from stainless steel or NiAl bronze. |
