How it Works

The Pilgrim Nut, an industry-standard hydraulic nut, is universally acclaimed for its precise and cost-effective propeller installations, endorsed by all major classification societies. Its operation is powered by the MorPress power pack, ensuring a quick and secure connection. The nut’s chamber fills with hydraulic oil, driving the piston to displace axially, achieving the desired “PUSH UP” on the tapered shaft with remarkable accuracy. Once the operation is complete, the pressure is released, and the nut is effortlessly secured using the tommy bar holes. The Pilgrim Nut also simplifies the removal process, where, when reversed, it works seamlessly with Pilgrim’s withdrawal equipment to detach propellers and rudders, underscoring its versatility and reliability in marine applications
