Protective Cover #T031N002

The Protective Cover #T031N002 is a marine-grade hub cover designed to enclose and protect the internal helical gear mechanism of a Flexofold folding propeller. It also serves as the mounting base for the propeller anode and shields internal components from seawater exposure, debris, and corrosion.

Function in system operation

• Covers and protects the internal gear mechanism that synchronizes blade folding
• Provides structural protection for the propeller hub assembly
• Acts as mounting interface for sacrificial anode installation
• Helps maintain reliable folding/unfolding blade operation under load

Compatibility

• Fits Flexofold 3-blade Classic folding propellers
• Typically used on propellers 24” diameter and above

Installation overview

• Mounted on propeller hub using M6x16 screws
• Requires 5 mm Allen key
• Screws are supplied with pre-applied threadlocker (Dri-Loc®)
• Threadlocker must be reapplied if screws are reused

Materials / Design

• Corrosion-resistant marine metal construction
• Designed for long-term seawater exposure
• Precision-fit for Flexofold hub geometry

Maintenance notes

• Inspect during propeller servicing or anode replacement
• Replace or reapply threadlocker when reinstalling screws
• Ensure proper torque to maintain sealing integrity
