French term or phrase: Chaise portable d'hélice

I know une chaise d'hélice is a propeller bracket but how can it be portable?

How would this translate?

propeller bracket

Explanation:
strange indeed, I suggest it would be better for you to under rather than overtranslate (I doubt the "portable" bit is essential in the context)

adjustable propellor bracket

Explanation:
Maybe it's a Chaise d'hélice à inclinaison variable

However, the place you are most likely to find a chaise d'hélice has to be a port, so maybe it's a propellor bracket that is on the run and needs harbouring.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Good idea, but it doesn't sound quite right. I think I'll prefer just saying propeller bracket in this case. Thank you.

Thank you.

Notes to answerer

Asker: I believe you're right, since the report says to be dismatnled and checked, so as you says the "portable" might not be essentiel.

10 hrs confidence:

removable propeller bracket

Explanation:
Why not just translate it "as is"? You can have a portable (or removable) outboard motor, so why not a removable propeller bracket?

Without context, it's hard to know for sure.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you, but I don't see how a propeller bracket can be removable on an inboard engine (which I did not specify, sorry).
