cooling box isolation?

I want to install a compressor to refrigerate the original pentry cooling box. Is there some isolation originally or must I rebuild it?

Re: Propeller axle strut - Ballad

The repair in my boat was done in a shipyard by a professional guy. He was quite astonished about the structure and denied to repair it without the V-joint.

Re: Propeller axle strut - Ballad

Kaidepuu, After catching a rope with the propellor I will have to face fixing the shaft strut as well. From the first looks if the cracked fiberglass it is the same as in your pictures, just a simple metal plate where the bearing is bolted to. so you ended up replacing the old strut with the V-shap...

Re: Propeller axle strut - Ballad

Finally: all the earlier reparation was not made professionally. The metal strut was plain, with no rough to help the laminate to be attached.

Re: Propeller axle strut - Ballad

No answer to this result. There can be many possibilities.

Anyway, there were signs of earlier repair - not during the last 15 years, according to 3 earlier owners.

Re: Propeller axle strut - Ballad

Anyway - have you the idea that the metall strut by no means doesn´t go through the floor? So that it is laminated only from outside.

Propeller axle strut - Ballad

My problem is that the lamination of the metal strut outside of the boat has been starting to rotten. My first thought was, that the strut goes through the floor - but inside the boat you cannot see any sign of the strut, or lamination. Now it is clear, that in my Ballad the strut doesn´t go through...

I found one version of repairing/replacing the bracket here. Could the Ballad bracket be like this?
