SHIFT SHAFT COUNTER ROTATION

$51.08

Description
  1. Function: The shift shaft counter rotation is responsible for transferring the movement from the shift mechanism to the gearcase in counter-rotating marine engines.
  2. Design: It is a precisely engineered shaft designed to transmit rotational motion from the gear shift mechanism to the gearbox, allowing the selection of forward, neutral, and reverse gears.
  3. Counter Rotation: In counter-rotating engines, two propellers rotate in opposite directions to enhance steering control and reduce steering torque. The shift shaft counter rotation ensures synchronized gear shifting for both propellers.
  4. Compatibility: The shift shaft counter rotation is designed to match specific marine engines with counter-rotating gearboxes. It must align correctly with the shift linkage and gearcase for proper operation.
  5. Installation: The shift shaft counter rotation is installed within the gearcase assembly and connected to the shift mechanism via linkages. Proper alignment and secure attachment are essential to ensure smooth gear shifting.
  6. Maintenance: Regular inspection and lubrication are necessary to ensure the smooth operation of the shift shaft counter rotation. Any signs of wear, corrosion, or misalignment should be addressed promptly to prevent gear shifting issues.
