Les,a friend of mine use to work on a floating crane and it was powered by two Magy Duetz V12 diesel's that ran two Shottle Heads through 2 90 deg angles to the props and there were u/j's in them,amazed me how they survived.

i hate floating cranes i wish i could own back all the hours i,ve done on the bloody things got quite good now with the 2 stroke detroits now to and fro from the van on the quayside to the crane via a tug or RIB all flippin day (big blokes like me look silly in an old fashioned lifejacket - like an orange michelin man ) gettin tools or parts or hoses made up .. or hanging in/from a man basket when you are scared of heights ,getting your feet dunked in the oggin when goin ashore at the end the day......... oh how i laugh............. as for crazy angles on shafts its all about the loads /revs and duty cycles thats for those clever people to work out .......far too involved for my little brain cheers les g
