Fitment and Propulsion Use

The Advance HC138-445 is specified for commercial trawlers and small tugboats. It supports propulsion systems requiring a 4.45:1 reduction ratio, subject to matching the engine’s rated torque, operating RPM, SAE 1 or SAE 2 bell housing interface, propeller-thrust requirement, and complete shaft arrangement. Confirm fitment using the engine model, serial number, rated torque, operating RPM, reduction ratio, and manufacturer drivetrain documentation before ordering.

Installation and Service Considerations

Verify the SAE 1 or SAE 2 bell housing interface and confirm that the vessel structure, engine alignment, and propeller-shaft geometry accommodate the 8.86-inch center distance, 25.5 x 24.0 x 31.0 inch housing, and 837 lb dry weight. the listed data lists a 3.17-gallon oil capacity. Follow the engine and gearbox manufacturer’s installation manuals and product instructions for alignment, lubrication, controls, cooling connections, and service procedures.

Before Ordering the Advance HC138
