[PSUBS-MAILIST] MK 101 Kort Nozzle Assembly

[David Colombo]

Joe,
The one piece collar with a slot that I designed lets the collar slide past
the thruster skag and forward to the down shaft tube, and then bolts to the
skag to lock into position. I was planning on using a rubber gasket as the
separator between the collar and thruster tube. The fins on the kort I was
planning to weld to both collar and kort. The fins would be a shape and
thickness as the existing skag. Since I am planning on making it all out of
stainless, the fewer the number of moving parts the better. The KISS
principal, since I will have to be doing the servicing.

Best Regards,
David Colombo
