Description:

A automatic shaft brake system for yachts with hydraulic gearboxes. The Autolock locks the propeller shaft when sailing, which stops propeller rotation, reduces noise, and minimizes wear on the shaft and gearbox. It works by using the hydraulic pressure from the gearbox to release a spring-loaded brake when the engine is started. The springs automatically engages the brake when the engine is turned off. 

Features:

• Automatic shaft locking: Engages automatically when the engine is off, preventing the propeller from spinning while sailing.

• Noise reduction: Stops the noise caused by a spinning propeller during sailing.

• Wear reduction: Minimizes wear on the propeller shaft and gearbox by stopping their rotation.

• Increased efficiency: Reduces drag and prop drag when sailing.

• Works with all hydraulic gearboxes: Is compatible with all makes of hydraulic gearboxes.

• Adaptable: Works with all gearbox couplings, including flexible ones.

• Automatic release: The brake is automatically released by gearbox oil pressure when the engine is started, making it a seamless operation.
