Description
Overview
Argomarine makes the V600C Sliding Dog (Part Number AM1051) for the warm-up clutch used in V600C marine gearboxes. This small but important part controls how the clutch engages during engine warm-up. Because it is built from hardened EN36A steel, it stays strong, resists wear, and keeps your drive system running smoothly.
Features of the V600C Sliding Dog
The V600C Sliding Dog offers clear benefits:
-
Made from EN36A steel, a type of metal that is hard on the outside but tough inside.
-
Machined with precise slots so the clutch locks in and out cleanly.
-
Heat treated for extra strength, which means less wear and longer service life.
-
Designed only for the V600C warm-up clutch, so fitment is exact.
Specifications and Materials
EN36A is a nickel-chromium steel used in gears and shafts that take heavy loads. After a special heat treatment, the surface becomes extremely hard while the inside stays tough enough to handle shocks. As a result, the sliding dog keeps working even when the clutch engages repeatedly under pressure. Suppliers such as Edcon Steel describe this steel as suitable for marine and mechanical parts that need both strength and durability. Therefore, the AM1051 sliding dog combines proven materials with precise machining.
Compatibility and Fitment
Argomarine designed this part for the V600C warm-up clutch only. Always check your gearbox model before ordering. In addition, confirm the serial number so you can avoid fitting errors.
Compliance and Safety
Argomarine follows marine engineering standards when producing the V600C Sliding Dog. Even so, installers must use correct tools, follow safe workshop practices, and keep parts well-lubricated. For official guidance on general product safety, see: https://www.productsafety.gov.au
Marine Applications
This sliding dog plays a vital role in inboard propulsion systems. Specifically, it allows smooth clutch engagement when warming up the engine. Moreover, its hardened EN36A build means it can cope with heavy loads and saltwater conditions without failing. As a result, you reduce downtime and keep your vessel reliable.
