Pratique 35 steel kit sailboat project of Peter Weston
Page 14 - Stern Tube & Propeller Aperture
The stern tube is fitted through holes in the keel floors and welded in place. It has a disk doubler plate where it passes through the tank end, to make welding to the end easier.
Basic structure of propeller opening plated and welding almost complete.
First pair of fairing plates fitted and propeller being checked for fit.
