| Stuffing box/propshaft angle
Hi,
I'm just now getting started on my Model Slipways Envoy tug. I would like to know, at what angle the stuffing box needs to be set at. Should it be, a. parallel to the keel, b. parallel to the waterline or does it need to be pitched up or down? I know this may sound basic to some of you, but it is my first tug and I would like to get it installed correctly and avoid any problems "down the road". Thanks, KC |
