Abstract: An interface is provided between a stiff piece (1) and a composite material (2), the composite material (2) including fibres (3), the stiff piece (1) including two or more vanes (4a, 4b, . . . ) protruding from a surface of the stiff piece (1). The vanes (4) include two or more lateral surfaces (41, 42, 43, 44), in which one or more fibres (3) of the composite material (2) are arranged for passing through one or more funnel-shaped throats (45) formed between lateral surfaces (41a, 43a, 41b, 43b, . . . ) of adjacent vanes (4a, 4b, . . . ). A fixing matrix material (7) is arranged around the one or more fibres (3), at least in or near the funnel-shaped throats (45). The vanes (4) are arranged for exerting counteracting transversal and axial forces on the fibres (3) and the fixing matrix material (7) when the interface is subject to forces.

Abstract: A transport package for a boat propeller drive (2) that has a suspension fork (6) for suspending the drive in a suspension plate mounted on the stern transom of a boat. The package includes a bottom plate (14) and a cover that can be removed from the bottom plate. The drive is held in a fixed position in the package by means of upper and lower spacing elements (21, 22). When the cover and the upper spacing elements are removed, the suspension fork is exposed and the drive is held stable in an upright position by the bottom plate together with the lower spacing elements to serve as a mounting fixture.
