Building the engine bed
The engine bed position is determined by the posi-
tion of the shaft. After measuring carefully, cut a hole
in the stern large enough for the stern bearing to be
put loosely in place.
Alternative 1
The engine can be used as a fixture to determine
the position of the engine bed. The engine must be
aligned to the propeller shaft. The shaft can tempo-
rary be installed and located in a correct position.
Alternative 2,
parallel gearboxes only
Another method to fix the engine bed without a fixture
or the engine is to apply a line from the rear end (3)
centered in the stern tube (2) to a fixed point (5) for-
ward of the engine bed. The measurement (A) should
be equal to the rulers () within 0-2 mm (0-0.08").
See figure.
Ensure that the rulers are horizontal athwartship.
Fixed point. Sterntube is
not fixed, moulded or bolted.
Alternative 3
In serial production or frequent installation work a
fixture could be manufactured to position the bed
planes.
