Arneson ASD14 Drive Systems (2) Shafts, Controls, 24V Pumps, Propellors

This item is a essentially complete set of two Arneson Surface Piercing Drives Model ASD14 built in America. Was originally installed in a 90 foot Aluminium Luxury Cruiser, and removed in entirety for a shaft drive upgrade. While the units performed OK the vessel was too heavy at 80 tonne for the engine power (twin 1080 HP Diesel), so the upgrade improved slightly the cruise performance at 8 - 12 knots (Displacement speeds) while the Arnesons prefer a lighter vessel with performance 20 - 40 kts. All the equipment has been stored at Wollongong, and as it is essentially Stainless Steel 316 and Aluminium has not suffered any degradation. The twin 1500 HP Hardy Spicer Jack Shafts with universal joints and flanges made from Steel, has some minor surface rust on the unpainted surfaces, requiring a simply clean up.

The Rams are of significant size, with 316 SS shafts, connectors fittings etc, and the original 24v 3000 PSI hydraulic motors/pump with some rubber Hi pressure hoses to suit. Just the rams alone would be suitable for many applications. As most of the equipment is designed to operate under salt water, there is residual anti foul paint left on shafts, rams, props etc to curb marine growth. This is normally ground off with 80 grit grinders before repainting. There is a bucket of 316 SS 1 inch bolts and nuts, and other fittings and connectors, some gauges and specific tools.

If picking up items may need to be re strapped to pallets for safety when loading/transporting. Propellers are France Helices 48 inch dia 46 inch pitch Four Bladed Nibral weighing around 190 KG each
