Remote reverse gear
The reverse gear is separated from the engine and
mounted on the engine bed or on a separate bed.
Torque is transferred via a flexible coupling through
a shaft. The angle of the propeller shaft can deviate
from the angle of the crankshaft.
The remote reverse gear must first be installed and
carefully aligned nominated by the propeller shaft.
Then the couplings are fitted and the engine is
aligned to the reverse gear. For final location and to
prevent possible shock loads, lugs must be welded in
front of and behind the brackets on each side. Wedg-
es are then driven in and secured by welding when
alignment is completely finished.
