PERFORMANCE OF TRADITIONAL FISHING VESSEL PROPULSION BY VARIABLE OF PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE STUDY CASE IN KAMPUNG WADAS BOJONEGARA BANTEN INDONESIA

Abstract

Research on performance of traditional fishing vessel propulsion by variable of propeller shaft in Kampung Wadas, Bojonegara was done. The fisherman is not attention to the propeller shaft angles and hydrodynamics of ships, they are only oriented to the payload capacity and quantity of catches. This research attempt to the improvement of propulsion performance of traditional fishing vessel by determine of propeller shaft angle. The study aimed to get the propeller shaft angle to generate the optimal characteristic propulsion such as Torque, Efficiency and Shaft Angle. The results show the propeller shaft angle of 22 ° was given optimum speed of fishing vessel and power of engine.
