The really "Old School" boating thread

That's about what I expected to see once you showed the input/output side.


Nothing says both inputs had to hook to the engine. Hook one input to the engine, the other acts an idler, you could use the shaft to drive something if wanted.

Coupling outputs to prop shafts with chains and sprockets was common as dirt in those days. Still is used in hydros and some crackers.

I thought this coupling was the standard deal on crackers from the ones I stuck my nose in, what other couplings do they use???

There are a couple that use a in/out and whirlaway tail piece from Casale mounted to the cross member that tales the prop shaft thrust.

While you are sticking your nose in boats, stick it in P94 the next time you see it,

OOOOOoo, tricky... MUCH better that way than not having any IN/OUT or prop release... Nice...
