Date Jun. 27, 1991.A method and a device for power transmission from a motor having a supercharging assembly, particularly a supercharged diesel-engine (7), to a gear (3) with a surface water driving propeller mechanism (4) mounted in a boat of the planing variety and preferably with a large propeller with a large pitch. A turbine coupling (10), which can be filled to a variable extent, is mounted between the supercharged motor (7) and the gear (3). The motor is designed to drive the pump portion (15) of the turbine coupling (10), and the turbine portion (17) of the turbine coupling (10) is connected to the input shaft (6) of the gear (3). The turbine coupling (10), when the boat is started, is emptied completely or partially, in such a way that it is at least partially disconnected from the gear. The motor is then accelerated to such a speed that the supercharging assembly of the motor (7) is connected. The turbine coupling is subsequently quickly filled with hydraulic medium, so that the propeller mechanism (4) is influenced by the substantially maximum output of the motor, caused by the supercharging assembly. When the boat has reached its planing speed, the motor speed in the desired way is reduced and/or the extent of filling of the turbine coupling is reduced, but no to a lower speed than that the boat will be propelled with a speed which is somewhat larger than the planing limiting speed. The invention also relates to the use of a turbine coupling in planing boats having gears of the above-described variety.
