SCHOTTEL NAVIGATOR – THE
COMPLETE PROPULSION UNIT
For more than 50 years, the SCHOTTEL Navigator (NAV) has
been a byword for a reliable and compact propulsion unit suit-
able for use on an extremely diverse range of vessels. In princi-
ple the NAV, an adaptation of the SCHOTTEL Rudderpropeller
(SRP), is a largescale mobile outboard plant, providing the
vessel with 360 degrees steerable manoeuvrability.
COMPACT DESIGN
All main components of the SCHOTTEL Navigator are
mounted on the base frame, which also accommodates the
daily fuel tank. A canopy protects the complete unit. A diesel
engine is used as the prime mover. The electrical and electronic
monitoring elements are installed in an integrated switch
cabinet. The clutch between the prime mover and the Rudder-
propeller transmits the power through a flexible coupling and
a universal shaft.

PROPULSION:
RUDDERPROPELLER (SRP)
The SCHOTTEL Rudderpropeller is mounted at the rear end of
the base frame and can be hydraulically raised or lowered in
vertical direction by means of a depth adjustment facility. This
serves to ensure maximum propeller thrust with all vessel
draughts by maintaining the correct propeller immersion. For
maintenance purposes, the Rudderpropeller can be pivoted
to the rear using hydraulic or mechanical lifting devices. The
propeller is equipped with an anti-cavitation plate to protect it
from damage, or alternatively with a nozzle, if higher bollard
pull is required.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION
Installation is fast and simple, since the Navigator merely has
to be bolted onto a foundation prepared by the shipyard. Thus
every kind of floating object can easily become motorized. The
NAV is characterized by its wide variety of applications. As an
extra service SCHOTTEL offers installation drawings according
to the customer’s requirements. Our sales and engineering
teams will be happy to provide assistance and advice.

APPLICATION ORIENTED
PRODUCT VARIANTS
All NAV variants can also be supplied with a ducted propeller.
Rudderpropellers without nozzles are fitted with an anti-
cavitation plate over the propeller to prevent air intake.

NAV ONATRA
The simplified version of the SCHOTTEL Navigator, Onatra (see
fig. Barge installation), comprises the steering and propulsion
system without motorization: a Rudderpropeller fixed to a
vertical frame welded to a base frame, with the hydraulic unit,
battery box and switch cabinet. The clutch, hydraulic pump,
cardan shaft and control panels are supplied separately. NAV Sound-insulated incl. SRP hood
The engine bed and canopy are supplied by the shipyard.

NAV BASIC
The NAV Basic comprises the diesel engine, the exhaust gas
system, the engine piping and cabling, and the daily fuel tank
embedded in the base frame construction. Furthermore, the
NAV Basic is protected by a steel sheet canopy painted to the
customer’s specifications. The shipyard only has to provide the
connections for fuel to the main tank, for electric connection to
the bridge and for cooling water, if required.
NAV OFFSHORE
For demanding offshore conditions the NAV Offshore is
characterized by an enclosed version of the canopy. The frame,
canopy and doors are galvanized to prevent corrosion.
The upper part of the Rudderpropeller can also be protected
by an additional cover. The interior is cooled by an extra venti-
lation system.

NAV RESILIENTLY MOUNTED

NAV SOUND-INSULATED
The sound-insulated version consists of an enclosed, insulated
canopy, thereby reducing the level of air-borne noise to a mere
of about 85 dB(A) at a distance of one metre.
For special vessel applications reduction of the structure-
borne noise may be necessary. For such cases SCHOTTEL
offers resilient mounting of the NAV and the thrust bearing.

STEERING SYSTEM AND

MOTORIZATION
Propulsion systems are only as good as their steering. Opti- proportionally. This means that small steering angles are
mally adapted data exchange between the different compo- electronically transformed into smooth steering movements
nents is therefore top priority. A further priority is a user and large steering angles are transformed into fast steering
interface that is as intuitive as possible, enabling safe manoeu- movements including an acceleration and deceleration ramp.
vring. Here too, SCHOTTEL steering systems set the course,
both literally and figuratively.

MOTORIZATION
The SCHOTTEL Navigator is supplied with a diesel engine. The
engine speed can be regulated by SCHOTTEL speedronic, an
electro-mechanical system. Otherwise regulation is possible
using a 4-20 mA or 0-5/10 V signal.
