摘要

Apparatus for facilitating dismounting and remounting a removable blade of a shrouded marine propeller comprises detachable brackets that are temporarily affixed to the propeller hub and the blade to be removed and a pivot pin that is installed through aligned holes in the brackets and forms a pivot axis about which the blade is flipped back out of the shroud, the blade having previously been positioned to reside generally in a plane including the propeller hub axis.
