Before taking the measurement, we have to remove the rope guard first.Also to make sure weather the vessel have the Poker gauge or not.This poker gauge is use to measure the propeller shaft drop (known as propeller wear down). After dismantling the rope guard, make sure to turn the blade to one position refer to the marking.Normally, we take top measurement and bottom measurement.

What is the stern tube of a ship?
It is a tunnel-like opening at the vessel's stern, through which the propeller or tail shaft passes, in order to connect the propeller to the engine.
Why propeller shaft is curved in shape?
A propeller shaft is often curved to accommodate the design and layout of the vessel it serves. The curvature helps to align the shaft with the engine and propeller while allowing for the necessary clearance from other components within the hull. Additionally, a curved shaft can help reduce vibrations and stress, improving the overall efficiency and performance of the propulsion system. This design consideration is essential for maintaining smooth operation and durability in marine applications.

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

What hand powered vessel was propelled by a hand shaft?
The Hunley was a submarine built by the Confederacy during the Civil War. It was propelled by its 8 crewmen turning a crank to which the propeller was attached.
Are thrust loads at a right angle to a shaft?
On a ships propeller shaft, the thrust will be in line with the axis of the shaft.
