1.7.7. Gears
The gears to change from forward to reverse and the other way around are hydraulic gears. They
are flanged directly onto the engine. Please read the gears’ special operating guide and the
maintenance instructions
In terms of use, the gears are designed in such a way that they fulfil the manoeuvring demands.
However, avoid abrupt gear changes from full forward to full reverse, even if these are hydraulic
converter gears.
1.7.8. Gear shift
The engine’s speed and the gears are controlled via mechanical gear shifting with Bowden wires.
The actual gearshift in the gears is performed hydraulically (see 1.7.7).
1.7.9. Sail drive
The sailing yacht has a sail drive. The output of the drive is similar to a Z drive transmitted to the
propeller, but the difference is the propeller is under the yacht. The lead through at the stern post
is sealed.
Attention!
Also check the tightness of the shaft seal during your inspections.
Attention!
Avoid touching the sea bottom because this could damage the
propeller or the shaft.
Note: Check all underwater components of the shafting when
preparing for winter storage and remove mussels and other deposits
from the bearings.
Note: Watch out for flotsam and jetsam. Rope ends or plastic bags
can damage the propeller and the shaft, thus reducing their service
life.
1.7.10. Propeller
The propeller is calculated according to the performance and planned speed. Watch out for
unusual vibrations in the area of the propeller that could be caused by damages to the propeller.
Notes regarding winter storage
For winter storage, the propeller should be cleaned of possible incrustation of foreign matter,
inspected and the flapping mechanism greased. In case of deformations, dents or nicks, the
propeller must be repaired and balanced by a specialist.
