PROPELLER SHAFT

$282.06

Description
  1. The PROPELLER SHAFT is a long, sturdy metal rod that connects the boat’s engine to the propeller. It’s like the axle of a car, but for boats.
  2. Function: When the engine spins the shaft, it turns the propeller, which pushes the boat forward through the water.
  3. Materials: It’s usually made of strong metals like stainless steel or bronze to withstand the forces and corrosion from being in the water.
  4. Importance: Without the PROPELLER SHAFT, the engine’s power wouldn’t reach the propeller, and the boat wouldn’t move efficiently.
  5. Maintenance: Regular checks are essential to ensure it’s not damaged or bent. Any issues with the shaft can affect the boat’s performance.
  6. Installation and Repair: When installing or replacing it, precise alignment is crucial for smooth operation. Repairs should be done by experienced professionals.
  7. Compatibility: It needs to be the right size and type for the boat’s engine and propeller to work correctly together.
