Description
Overview (V600 input shaft)
Firstly, the V600 input shaft in 1 1/4″ diameter provides a direct replacement for V600-series marine gearboxes. Specifically, Part Number AM1037 is made from EN36A case-hardening steel and incorporates a 1/4″ keyway. Since EN36A offers a hard outer case over a tough, ductile core, it withstands heavy marine drivetrain stresses well.
Features
-
EN36A case-hardening alloy ensures long wear-life and dependable surface toughness
-
1 1/4″ shaft with 1/4″ keyway ensures secure torque transfer without slippage
-
Machined precisely to V600 geometry, thereby simplifying installation

Compatibility and Fitment
Therefore, this part fits V600-series marine gearboxes. Consequently, before installation, ensure your gearbox model is V600, and that a 1 1/4″ shaft with a 1/4″ keyway matches your coupling. Also, verify alignment, key fit, and bearing condition. A qualified marine technician can then install it safely and efficiently.
Compliance and Safety
Moreover, follow your gearbox service manual and marine workshop safety practices. In addition, wear protective gear, support the drivetrain during installation, and torque fasteners correctly. After fitting the V600 input shaft, check runout and backlash, then test under light load before resuming full operation.
Marine Applications
Use this shaft in inboard drivetrains featuring V600 gearboxes, whether on commercial or recreational vessels. Because the shaft handles shock and load well, it improves smooth power delivery and thus helps avoid unexpected downtime.
Why Choose Argomarine
Argomarine supplies correctly specified components and backs them with local support. Not only do you receive a durable V600 input shaft in EN36A, but you also benefit from easy ordering, fast dispatch, and expert advice.
