Distance required for fitting the rope cutter:
Rule of thumb:
In front of the rope cutter, between the rope cutter and cutlass bearing, should be a minimum distance of 50% of the shaft diameter.
For a 40 mm shaft, you would require 40 mm / 2 = 20 mm between Front Surface of the rope cutter and the aft edge of the cutlass bearing. This space is to allow for the propeller and engine motions.
The 40mm Rope Cutter also require 17,5 mm distance on the shaft. Total required space on the shaft 40 mm + 17,5 mm = 37,5 mm.
If you have a shaft with a P-Bracket construction, the situation is a little different and other requirements could rule.
