    Also. McMaster Carr sells SS two bolt safety collars that are only 1/2 wide if that helps.
    thanks sounds good ill keep you posted think i found enough room to get the CE .625" safety collar in there

    Did you get that shaft from Marine Machine? Did they supply you with that piece of key?

    If the seat in shaft has a radius approaching the one on that key, those guys have their shit together.

    Look's nice! How do they cut a constant depth keyway in a tapered part of the shaft? Do they use a keyway cutter in a vertical mill cutting from the side with the shaft mounted at the appropriate angle?

    GN 369 lost an A 22 shaft and new prop in Sat. race at Parker. I was told it had 6 races on it. I wouldn't run an A 22 prop shaft if was free. K Monel from Italy will be my shaft of choice from now on.
