Shaft and propeller alignment

Moving to the V de Bravado shipyard for the disassembly of a line of shafts, starting with the disassembly of the rudder, propeller, shaft, shaft seals, friction bushings bow and stern to bring them to the workshop for review and calibration, find worn shaft and bushings, the propeller is removed from the shaft to take the shaft to be machined and also manufacture new bushings applying a new anti-friction component to have a better rotation. With all the material ready, the shovel is mounted on the shaft in the workshop and taken to Bravado’s V slipway to begin assembly. The bushings and seals are assembled and then the shaft and propeller are assembled. With a pedal grease gun, the horn is filled with grease to keep it greased so as not to see any leakage. Once the shaft is mounted, we perform shaft alignment with reduction gear. Subsequently, the boat is voted into the water and navigation tests are carried out.
