Easylok for silent running
01 Mar 2004
With the shaft locked, says Lake, the blades on feathering propellers can rotate to their correct position giving the full benefit of the low drag factor of the propellers. It also stops the irritating noise that the shaft and gear train produces when under sail.
The Easylok unit consists of a fixed housing and a rotating disc fixed to the shaft that has two half notches to hold the rotation.
The unit is activated by a cable operated plunger. The unit disengages automatically as soon as the engine starts.
Easylok units are available for shafts from 3/4 and cable lengths up to 20".
