Our Propshafts
As with all of
MOBILE MARINE MODELS
products, the precision propshafts are designed & manufactured, in house, at the unique factory complex we call The Boat Shed.
Precision Propshafts
The Precision STERNTUBES are from 'thick-walled' brass tube, and the shafts from marine grade machineable STAINLESS STEEL. All tubes are fitted with precision 'longer-than-normal' bearings, ( manufactured here at The Boat Shed ), giving longer life & smoother running, in all applications, including salt water !
Standard Shafts
The standard range includes; the
MicroLineİ
; the
SlimLineİ
; the
Heavy Dutyİ
; and not forgetting the 'out-of-the-ordinary'.... our manufacturing processes are flexible enough to accommodate any special shaft to suit the modeller's needs.

SSE
is the ultimate in smooth running.

.... and The Kort-Eze©.....
As many modellers know from bitter experience, once a kort nozzle has been fitted, it is very, very difficult, for whatever reason, to remove the nozzle from the boat...... for the shaft ( has too ) protudes into the kort.
The design team at MMM have come up with the answer.... The Kort-Eze© .... a precision sterntube that actually collapses to allow the easy removal of the nozzle.... AND, more important....... the easy re-installation of the nozzle & tube.
Built to the same high standards, The Kort-Eze© design is available over the whole range of SlimLine©; Heavy Duty©, SuperSmooth Eight© & MaxLine propshafts.
...our manufacturing processes are flexible enough to accommodate any special shaft to suit the modeller's
needs.
