What is it? Set 324

.... I should point out that it would only be a simple clamp on coupling with no key for relatively low power applications: small to medium yachts and displacement motor boats usually with one or two cylinder diesels. ALL the larger couplings from R&D marine either are clamp on with a keyway or are supplied pilot bored and will have a taper + keyway machined to fit a shaft prepared similar to the propeller end (best if identical as then the shaft can be swapped end for end when it gets worn). Yes, I would have presumed that as well...my essentially my only experience w/ props is watching the machining of experimental very low turbulence noise versions for Navy sub's in the Y-12 facility in Oak Ridge a number of years ago. At something approaching an individual's height per blade, they were sized for quite significantly larger shafts than these... -- |

Thanks to everyone for the help on these, I changed my answer to say that they are propeller shafts for boats. Rob |
