Propeller Strut - Centurion Ri257 Owner's Manual

Section 8

PROPELLER STRUT

The propeller shaft is supported on the outside of the hull by a strut. The strut
integrates a composite bearing supporting and allows the propeller shaft to rotate
in the strut.
NOTICE: The propeller shaft strut bearing is lubricated by water. Do not shift the
transmission and run the propeller out of the water, even if water is supplied to the
engine's cooling system. Damage to the shaft and bearing can occur.
