Hi.

It should be or should be not.

It is depending from "direction" not "rotation":

"Forward" is always forward so Propeller is always "pushing" the vessel.

Usually is the "Propeller Shaft" to be supporting the pushing efforts.

Gears and Clutches are supporting only the rotational torques.

But in any way has to be examined the specific Driveline, application and purpose.

Same thing for Gearbox engineering, drawing, performance and manufacturer technical choices...

By the way in North Adria Sea and Lagoon of Venice all Clam Dredgers are operating in Reverse !

So a lot of fishermen are replacing rotation of Propeller just to operate Gearbox in "Forward"...

.... other ones are "preferring" to operate in true Reverse as so the gear-ratio is wider than Forward one...

In any way it is a good thing don't operate DIY on ANY vital parts of any kind ofvessel...

Bye,

WinXP
