A Simpler, Cleaner and Dryer Shaft Installation
04 May 2008
A bolt-on shaft system from Seatorque answers many of the problems associated with assembling and aligning a traditional open shaft system, as well as offering a number of other benefits.
Reduced maintenance and simple installation from the Seatorque shaft.
Beyond a simpler, cleaner and dryer installation, it also eliminates vibration and noise from the shaft system and can be easily fitted to existing hull designs with minor modifications.
On top of which, the system enhances performance (typically by around 8%), and since the shaft is running in oil, instead of unfiltered water, sand and silt, the unit also reduces bearing and shaft wear, which again means reduced maintenance.
