The maximum power which can be transmitted is 22kW (29.5hp) per 1000 rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hydraulic operating system functions on normal lubricating oil of the same viscosity as that used in the engine, avoiding the need to use automatic transmission fluid, and ensures rapid response to movements of the operating lever for good boat handling. The operating lever has a positive neutral detent and is suitable for use with proprietary single lever remote control operating systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobust and reliable, the hydraulic system is nevertheless provided with a mechanical lock-up device for added security, so that in the unlikely event of hydraulic failure the boat can be brought safely back to port. Access to this device is via a detachable cover located on top of the main gearcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA trolling valve can be fitted. This is electronically operated which allows variable speed of the propeller to zero whilst allowing a maximum engine speed of up to 1200 rpm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is essential for the engine, transmission model, reduction ratio and propeller size to be correctly matched so that the engine can attain its rated speed appropriate to the relevant service classification without labouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is also necessary to ensure the torsional compatibility of the complete propulsion system from engine through to propeller, since disregarding this may result in gear noise, particularly at low speed operation, and may even result in damage to the engine as well as the transmission components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperating Pressure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMinimum - 20.00 bar (290 PSI), Maximum - 22.06 bar (320 PSI). Two tapped holes 1\/8\" BSP on the top, and M18 on the side of the valve block are provided so that the pressure gauge can be fitted if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOil Cooling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe normal operating temperature of the oil should be in the 50°C - 80°C range and should not be permitted to exceed 90°C. An oil cooler is necessary to ensure that correct operating temperatures are maintained, and the valve block is provided with two 3\/8\" BSP connectors to allow it to be fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePropeller Thrust\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth ahead and astern thrust is carried by the output shaft bearings which are of adequate capacity for all factory approved ratings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePropeller Free Wheeling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PRM280 output shaft can be rotated continuously with the gearbox in neutral. It is therefore not necessary to fit a propshaft brake in such applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePRM280 Gearbox spline: 10 teeth SAE 1\".
