The unit(s) shall be secured to the deck by hold down bolts. An operators station or platform shall also be part of the design. The drive assembly shall be direct belt and gear driven and capable of withstanding all propeller generated thrust loads without the requirement for thrust bearing assemblies located below the deck level. The unit(s) shall be capable of being easily disconnected from the deck with the hold down bolts and be transportable without disassembly of propulsion unit components. 2.1.3 Size, weight, and configuration. Each propulsion base shall be five (5) feet wide (thwartships) X 3-4 feet length (longitudinal) excluding the stem and propeller overhang. The weight for the drive unit and stem should be 5.000 to 7,500 lbs. 2.1.4 Power requirements.
