Small
Bolt-in Mounting Cone
When the propulsor is installed using the small mounting
cone there is no need to compromise hull strength
around the propulsors, as the needed openings in the
hull can be kept to a minimum.
Mounting cone installation allows the propulsor
to be installed in one piece from below or in two
pieces, upper gearbox from above and lower gearbox
from below.
