Propeller Shaft Support Brackets Clements Marine can offer a wide range of glass-in and palm-type ‘P’ brackets to cover most requirements for power craft and sailing auxiliaries. Special designs can be produced using ‘in-house’ adaptable tooling, thus always giving accurate machined repetition for finished ‘P’ and ‘A’ brackets. Most brackets for sea-going vessels are cast from BS1400 nickel aluminium bronze or BS1400 HTB1 high tensile brass. Alternatively, they may be fabricated from mild steel or 316 stainless steel. Each bracket is despatched complete with high specification water lubricated rubber cutless bearings (see TD05).
