This term appears in several places of the document, for example:
Het uitwisselen van de olieverwarming (*bakshoek* aandrijving)
Het uitwisselen van het anti-condensatie verwarmingselement (*bakshoek* aandrijving)
There are more similar instances. Am I correct to assume that -bakshoek - Dutch van Dale explains it as: "Hoek waarover geschut gedraaid is", roughly in English: the angle the weaponry turns on. I am looking for something short and to the point in English.
I cannot think of something. Help! Brain freeze.

Azimuth drive
Since bakshoek is primarily a naval term, with a primary meaning of azimuth, it is highly likely that the subject here is some kind of instrument or device which has an azimuth drive (right-left to the layman).

angle drive
Not absolutely sure about this, but bakshoekaandrijving seems to refer to the transmission of power and/or motion between intersecting shafts, e.g. the driving shaft of the engine and drive shaft on which the propellor or screw is mounted

TWB Scheeps/regel/Installatietechniek (Delévaque: bakshoek = angle (sy. traversing angle); bakshoeksturing = angle steering
Personal remark: \'Bak\' in a maritime sense means \'forecastle\', and, due to the restricted space for a transversely mounted engine in that area of the vessel, that would seem just the kind of place where angular driving would be applied. This type of propulsion at the forecastle is done by what is called a \'kopschroef\' in Dutch, and is used for steering purposes in critical steering situations. There may be a \'link\' here ...

: Possibly any furher relation with 'bakboord' (English 'port') = left ??

I have considered that too, but as far as I know there is no further relationship.
