Description
  1. Function: The outer propeller shaft, also known as the prop shaft, transmits rotational power from the gearbox or engine to the propeller, driving the boat forward or backward in the water.
  2. Design: It’s a robust, cylindrical metal shaft designed to withstand high torque and rotational forces. The outer propeller shaft connects the gearbox or engine to the propeller hub.
  3. Material: Typically constructed from high-strength stainless steel or alloy to withstand the harsh marine environment and resist corrosion.
  4. Compatibility: The outer propeller shaft is engineered to match specific marine engines, gearboxes, and propeller configurations. Proper alignment and engagement ensure efficient power transmission.
  5. Installation: The outer propeller shaft is installed within the propeller housing or gearcase, connecting the gearbox or engine to the propeller hub. It’s secured with fasteners and sealed to prevent water ingress.
  6. Maintenance: Regular inspection and lubrication are essential to maintain the outer propeller shaft’s performance and integrity. Any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage should be addressed promptly to prevent mechanical issues and ensure safe operation.
