It ensures correct clearance alignment and helps protect the shaft seal. Therefore, it provides smooth and reliable operation under load, even in harsh marine conditions.
Features
-
CNC-machined from solid billet alloy, ensuring precise dimensions
-
Tailored to Argo V-Drive setups, resulting in an exact fit
-
Clearances designed to maintain seal integrity and reduce vibration
-
Silver-coated for marine-grade corrosion resistance, adding durability and longevity
Specifications and Materials
This adaptor measures 78.33 mm internal diameter and 134.30 mm outside diameter. Because it is crafted from aluminium alloy, it remains lightweight yet structurally strong. Additionally, the silver coating protects against salt spray and surface wear. For best results, clean mounting surfaces and torque bolts evenly. Furthermore, verify that the shaft and cover spacing remain within design tolerance to avoid interference and premature wear.
Compatibility and Fitment
This adaptor is specifically compatible with Argo V-Drive gearboxes using standard drive shaft covers. However, if your cover or shaft has been modified, you should measure diameters to ensure proper fit. Consequently, you can avoid alignment issues and safeguard your drive seal.
Compliance and Safety
A properly fitted adaptor maintains alignment, which helps the seal last longer and reduces oil leakage risks. Therefore, install the adaptor carefully, turn the shaft by hand, and conduct a short test run to confirm a leak-free fit. Additionally, always inspect the seal surface for cleanliness before assembly.
Marine Applications
This part is ideal for inboard skiers or racing boats where V-Drive configurations expose the drive shaft cover to splash or misalignment. Moreover, it helps maintain gearbox cleanliness and seal integrity even when subjected to shifting loads.
