Abstract
The invention is directed to a propeller hubcap and method for installing a propeller hubcap which includes attaching a propeller hubcap to main propeller where the main propeller has at least two blades and a shaft and where the shaft has a diameter of from 2.5 inches to 6 inches. The propeller hubcap includes a central body and propeller blades, where the propeller blades are timed with the blades of the main propeller. A thick and thin nut are provided on the main propeller shaft where the thick or thin nut which is positioned further from the main propeller is tapped by multiple holes which have received a fastener. The fasteners attach the propeller hubcap to the main propeller shaft via complementary holes in the central body of the propeller hubcap.
Claims11
A method for installing a propeller hubcap comprising:
- attaching a propeller hubcap to main propeller,
- wherein the main propeller has at least two blades and a shaft wherein the shaft has a diameter of from 2.5 inches to 6 inches,
- wherein the propeller hubcap comprises a central body and propeller blades, wherein the propeller blades are timed with the blades of the main propeller,
- wherein a thick and thin nut are provided on the main propeller shaft wherein the thick or thin nut which is positioned further from the main propeller is tapped by multiple holes which have received a fastener wherein said fasteners attach the propeller hubcap to the main propeller shaft via complementary holes in the central body of the propeller hubcap.
A propeller comprising:
- a main propeller comprising least two blades and a shaft wherein the shaft has a diameter of from 2.5 inches to 6 inches,
- a propeller hubcap positioned downstream from the main propeller and comprising a central body and propeller blades, wherein the propeller blades are timed with the blades of the main propeller,
- wherein a thick and thin nut are provided on the main propeller shaft wherein the thick or thin nut which is positioned further from the main propeller and closer to the propeller hubcap is tapped by multiple holes which have received a fastener wherein said fasteners attach the propeller hubcap to the main propeller shaft via complementary holes in a central body of the propeller hubcap.
