	Hmmm. . An international call out for assistance designing a Nigerian Tugboat! Who's In? . . It isn't ~~bad~~ completely moronic thinking really.... if the ships are too well defended to take control of the ships power..... why not just tow it where you want? __________________ Eternal vigilance is the price of knowledge. - George Santayana

	Is it a steam engine tug? Does the engine have 1, 2 or three cylinders? Is the boiler a fire tube type? Is the boiler a water tube type? Is the Nb propeller a Nibral or bronze propeller? Diameter, pitch, blades and rake? Is there a name on the boiler plate? Is there a name on the engine? Is the engine single acting, double acting, multi-expansion, slide D valve, piston valve, Corliss? What kind of fuel, wood, coal, peat, liquid fuels? More information or a picture of a similar set up from the web or any where would help. Please try again. Even low steam pressures can be extremely dangerous Akintunde. Sounds interesting.

	Yes. Everything should be in a straight line that goes from one end to the other.

	Do you mean the third propeller shaft of a 3 engine tug boat? tube-propeller shaft ???? Good Luck, Old Salt __________________ Any day on the green side of the grass is a GREAT DAY!, --- me +++++++++. I believe creativity is an inherent part of everyone. --- Kermit T. Frog
