Alan's Boatyard - 'Far Saltire' Model

Bow Swing Down Thruster Housing - showing Rotation Servo Housing. To overcome a problem with the propeller unit rotating as the unit swings up & down (due to one of the rotation bevel gears moving but the other one not moving), I have designed the unit so that as it swings both gears do not move, keeping the propeller/nozzle inline as it passes through the opening in the hull..

The brass bracket is for the connection to the swing servo and the shaft is for the propeller rotation.
