INSTALLATION
V-DRIVE gearbox is not flanged directly on to the engine. Make sure that the connecting
cardan shaft does not transmit vibration which could damage the transmission.
V-DRIVE gearbox is installed separately, with a drive shaft and the foundation mounting can
be either rigid or elastic.
If necessary, in addition to the normal flexible coupling fitted to the engine, fit an extra damper
to absorb the vibration caused by an imperfect alignment.
PROPELLER SHAFT CONNECTION
You are advised to use a thrust bearing to reduce the inevitable axial strain on the gearbox.
Performance data for the propeller shaft bearing will depend on the loads applied during
operation, and must be specified by the designer and builder of the boat.
The alignment must be checked with the boat in the water, as the deformation of the hull in
the water is enough to alter an alignment done on stands.
