Mounting Adapter
The use of a large mounting adapter allows the complete
propulsor to be lifted onboard in one piece. Often
it is possible to do so even with the vessel in water.
This feature also enables the propulsor to be lifted
off the vessel for repairs and maintenance without
dry-docking the vessel.
