Angle drive - V drive
Due to the size, the weight distribution and the hull structure it could be necessary to install an angle
drive.
On this type of drive it is important that the supporting plane of the engine on the inverter side is close
to the connecting plane between the unit output and the propeller axis support.
The “V” drive inverters can be flanged directly on the engine or placed far from it.This second solution
is more flexible for the choice of the engine position which can be horizontal, thus improving and opti-
mising the use of spaces.When universal joint shafts are used check that there is constant velocity rota-
tion and maintain the boss angles admitted by the joint in relation to the inverter flanges.
The use of the angled inverter is temporarily limited to the yacht and light commercial boat sector
because of its high installation and maintenance costs.
Strictly observe the installation rules provided by the inverter manufacturer.
