  AKKA's propeller
   
  Instrument panel engine
»Akka« is equipped with a »Farymann R 30 M« diesel engine:
  • capacity: 1200 cc
  • output: 20 hp (14.71 kW) at 2500 rpm.

The engine compartment is noise-insulated on five sides. In conjunction with the solid engine compartment door – giving access to the engine from the cabin – this leads to very low noise levels when using the engine.

Under engine, the boat is propelled by a thrust-bearing shaft. A highly flexible »VULKAN MEGIFLEX« coupling connects the gearbox flange to the shaft flange.

The compression gland is water-lubricated, as is the rubber bearing at the propeller end. There, the stainless-steel propeller shaft is hard-metal coated and therefore maintenance-free.

A bronze SPW variable-pitch propeller transmits the power of the engine into the water.

For servicing, both engine and shaft are easily accessible from all sides.
