AutoLock

Most hydraulically operated gearboxes are not sufficiently lubricated with the engine switched off and the propeller rotating under sail. Autolock is an automatically activated shaft lock that overcomes this problem and:

* Stops prop rotation when sailing.
* Reduces gearbox wear.
* Reduces prop drag.
* Stops cruising prop noise.
* Manufactured from stainless steel and other non-corrosive materials.

How does it work?

Autolock is the only reliable automated shaft braking system available for yachts fitted with hydraulic gearboxes.

Operation is automatic, springs apply the brake when the engine is off. The brake is automatically released by gearbox oil pressure as soon as the engine is started.
