Prop Shaft Brake

FPB-64-shaft-brake

You are looking at a propeller shaft brake on the FPB64. This device uses an eccentric cam to apply clamping pressure to the shaft coupling. This makes the job of checking coupling bolt torque easier, and assists in changing the flexible coupling should this ever be required at sea where the boat’s motion otherwise would be moving the prop. It will also come in handy should the emergency sailing rig be required.

    Hi David:
    These are not made for outside sale. Their engineering is very installation specific.
