Prop Shaft

Teague and Glenwood carry them. They are made by BJ marine. You need to know the barrel ID and the shaft ID.

I'm liking you more all the time:biggrin:
When Dave Rankin drove Rudy's GN he would tell Rudy that the boat was turning 8700 on the straights. Rudy would say, we need to do something about that and taped the tach up with duct tape. When I ask Bill what its spinning, he tells me he has better things to do than look at a tach. So I bought a data recorder. I can't do anything about the RPM, but it lets me know how many fingers I need to keep crossed.

I never saw where anybody said that 3 shafts were lost at Parker this weekend. You have a habit of reading shit into things people never said. Like me recommending Glenwood for a shaft when I did JUST THE OPPOSITE!!

I don't see how anyone could look at a tach while bombing down the straight. I would'nt even be able to glance at one, bumps and stuff come way too quick. Only gauge I have is oil pressure and that only get's looked at during warmup and parade laps, I should probably hookup a big idiot light. I've thought about getting one of those RacePack deals, when setup right you can get a lot of usefull info afterwards.

Aside from the non obvious reason that could have snapped, there is some thought that the prop pitch an ear to cause that.
Ever ask Rankin, Fitz or Buckles how many props they go thru a year and why?

No. Why don't you tell me king know it all! I'm sure buckles and rankin don't go thru as many props as they used to since they been using Grose forged props.

you read and comprehend nothing, i never said you recommended glenwood you never recommend any one at all as a matter of fact, go read some of the other boating forums out there that you belong too and you can see where i got that from..after i found Marine Machine bought a shaft posted pictures of it .. than you like it .. now all of a sudden thats who you recommended lmao..you or kevin would not reccomened any supplier what so ever, the only thing thing that was recommend was a material type, and back to glenwood aren't you the one saying there shafts have run for years in your boats ? and Bob made yours personally while you watched? or is that just some more shit i made up ?

almost ready to give up on hot boat.com all grumpy people out to attack each other , could of stayed in the ARMY for that...

Everybody has the preference. Some like the "plastic" but one says only Turcite, the others say only Delron. I use the fiber and replace every season, usually right after thanksgiving during the long break. and their cheap.
