Overhaul Boone gearbox, type 4A 40 So

Following an inspection carried out on board, it was decided to completely overhaul the gearbox. The gears and bearings were damaged due to a lubricating oil problem.  

In addition to replacing bearings and seals, all gears have also been replaced. And the gearbox housing has been adjusted.  

Boone completed the repair in 4 weeks. After the overhaul, the gearbox was taken to the test stand by the customer. After this, the gearbox was dispatched by airfreight to the cutter suction dredger to be installed.
