🔧 Product Description

⚙️ Key Features

• Aluminium hull insert
• 74.843 kg
• Listed for six applications across IPS pod drives and D series engines
• The aluminium material matters for galvanic compatibility with the hull

🔌 Function

Forms the reinforced opening the drive mounts through, spreading the drive's loads into the hull structure and providing the sealed landing face for it.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Water weeping into the bilge around the drive mounting
• Corrosion staining, white powdery deposits or blistering around the insert
• Sealant line lifted or cracked between the insert and the hull
• Fastener holes corroded, or the mounting face pitted on strip-down
• Anodes wasting unusually quickly, pointing to a galvanic problem at the insert

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the bonding and the anodes when working on the insert - aluminium in a hull wastes quickly if its galvanic protection is not right
• Renew all seals and sealant at the hull joint; this is a below-waterline structural fitting and a partial reseal is not acceptable
• At nearly 75 kg this is a lift that needs planning and mechanical help
