Description
The DRIVE SHAFT, 20″ 90 DEG. (Part number: 92-306-04-20A) is a component used in marine propulsion systems. Here’s a simplified overview:
- Length and Angle: This drive shaft is 20 inches long and designed at a 90-degree angle.
- Function: It transmits power from the boat’s engine to the gearcase or lower unit, which then drives the propeller to propel the boat forward.
- Compatibility: This specific drive shaft is designed to fit particular marine engines and gearcases, ensuring proper alignment and function.
- Material: Typically constructed from durable metals like stainless steel or hardened steel to withstand the torque and rotational forces exerted by the engine.
- Importance: The drive shaft is a critical component for transferring power efficiently from the engine to the propeller, ensuring smooth operation and optimal performance of the boat.
- Maintenance: Regular inspection and lubrication are necessary to maintain the drive shaft’s integrity and functionality. Any signs of wear or damage should be addressed promptly to prevent further issues.
