Prior to operation
Shortening the propeller shaft
Hold the two halves of the propeller shaft against one
another at the shortest operating setting.
Mark a dimension of 40 mm (1.57 in) (X) from the edge
(B) of the outer protective pipe (A) on the inner
protective pipe (C).
(Fig. 18)
Dismantle the protective pipes.
Cut the outer protective pipe (A) at the marked spot.
Hold the cut section (D) against the inner protective
pipe (C) and cut off the same length on the inner
protective pipe.
(Fig. 19)
Shorten the outer profile pipe (E) and the inner profile
pipe (F) by the same length as the cut off section (D)
from the outer protective pipe (the inner profile pipe is
hardened).
Smooth the cut edges (deburr) and carefully remove
the chips.
Grease the propeller shaft once pushed together.
Attention!
Insufficient grease on the profile pipe will
reduce the service life of the propeller shaft.
