Before taking the measurement, we have to remove the rope guard first.Also to make sure weather the vessel have the Poker gauge or not.This poker gauge is use to measure the propeller shaft drop (known as propeller wear down). After dismantling the rope guard, make sure to turn the blade to one position refer to the marking.Normally, we take top measurement and bottom measurement.

Why is propeller shaft inclined?
important reason behind inclining the shaft is to avoid/reduce various vibrations that may come up from the propeller and shaft rotation. various rulebooks have the minimum clearances for hull/propeller, so when the hull and propeller are designed and the minimum clearances are not satisfied shaft are inclined. other reasons include better positioning of engine bearers, better flow angle to the propeller blades
