The shafts are made of steel. They are hollow to allow room for the propeller pitch
control system. Parts, which are in contact with sea water, are protected by corrosion
resistant material.

The shafts are connected with one or more couplings of either the SKF-OK type or the
flange type, or split muff coupling.

The performance specifications and the dimensions of the shaft and type of coupling are
given with the drawing "Shafting arrangement".

The aft end of the propeller shaft is flanged and bolted to the propeller hub. The shaft
