Propulsion Performance Products bearing and option composite bearing for dry-run capability. Circle 82 on Reader Service Card Kawasaki Side Thrusters Kawasaki Heavy Industries offers the KT-B series of side thrusters, developed accord- ing to modern engineering concepts and extensive marine experience, says the company. The series features small size and a high degree of noise and vibration reduction, and provides easier ship maneuverabili- ty when used in combination with Kawasaki's controllable pitch propeller. The company also manufactures the KST series of steerable thrusters for var- ious working vessels, offshore oil drilling rigs and other applications. With a 23 percent reduction in tunnel length compared to former models, the KT-B thruster can be installed closer to the vessel's fore or aft end, enlarging the distance between the thruster and the vessel's gravity center, thus increasing the vessel's turning moment. For ease of maintenance, each propeller blade is easily replaced inside the tunnel. When replacement is done afloat, the thruster tunnel is kept above sea level by a hull ballast adjustment. Circle 83 on Reader Service Card Extended Range of Waterjet Propulsion The new TAMD74C engine is one of the new engines coupled with Kamewa waterjets, mak- ing up the extended range of Volvo Penta's complete, integrated waterjet propulsion sys- tem. The packages are all delivered complete from Volvo Penta, including engine, waterjet, gear- box, shafting and control systems. The TAMD74C will be coupled with the Kamewa K32 waterjet, and will be available for rating 3 and 4, as will the 12-liter TAMD122, available for ratings 2, 3 and 4. The 16-liter TAMAD163 comes with the Kamewa40. Both the TAMD122 and TAMAD163 will be available with the Kamewa36 during the coming year. Circle 84 on Reader Service Card Control Heads Available from Mathers Controls, the MicroCommander Control Heads fea- ture single-lever control of direction and speed, station transfer button, station-in- control indicator light for port and star- board and precise, instant response. A October, 1999 complete MicroCommander system includes one control head with one or two levers to control single or twin engines. An option is for up to four addi- tional heads to be connected to the actu- ator. The control stations can be installed wherever desired: Cockpit, bridge, bow or stern. Station transfer buttons efficiently switch control from one station to another. Circle 85 on Reader Service Card Schottel's Rudderpropeller The Schottel Rudderpropeller (SRP) is a combined propulsion and steering sys- tem that not only converts the engine or motor power into optimum thrust, but also — due to 360 degree rotation of the underwater assem- bly — enables the full propulsive power to be used for maneuvering the vessel as well. The SRP is designed for maximum maneuverability, optimum efficiency, safe and economical operation, space- CORROSEAL, INC.
