Slip Joint
The propeller shaft has to meet both of the changes i.e., the angular change coming between the gear box and differential and the change in length of the distance between the gear box and differential. The propeller shaft is also not on the same line as the gear box output shaft but it runs to the rear axle at an angle because the level of the rear axle is lower than the gear box.
- ¾ To adjust 'angular motion', universal joints are provided.
- ¾ To adjust for the change in length of the propeller shaft, a slip joint is provided.

Why the propeller shaft is inclined?
important reason behind inclining the shaft is to avoid/reduce various vibrations that may come up from the propeller and shaft rotation. various rulebooks have the minimum clearances for hull/propeller, so when the hull and propeller are designed and the minimum clearances are not satisfied shaft are inclined. other reasons include better positioning of engine bearers, better flow angle to the propeller blades
