Abstract
The screw of a screw-rudder propulsion assembly for a floating vehicle is suspended on the end of a steering shaft which is housed in a tubular casing which is supported on the vehicle. The shaft is rotated to steer the vehicle and the screw is driven by a hydrostatic receiver unit housed in the screw-rubber assembly. A pair of rotating joints through which oil is circulated to the hydrostatic receiver unit, a trust bearing, and the steering drive for rotating the steering shaft are grouped together at the top of the shaft.
