Prop Shaft

[ogshotgun]

i don't know what you call the one in the picture but thats definitely the way to go i believe

also after a pass that prop is a real mfer to get broke loose, they have a type of slide hammer to bang it off with and its a bi..ch

That would be a strong MOFO.. So where can I find a prop to run on my CRUISER that has that profile?

Hondo boats sell the shafts and props.

I thought we've already been though this? BOTH of these materials are tough, Nickel 500 being the stronger of the two, if I remember the testing values correctly. There are other factors that are causing these failures.

we did and some one wanted to say that the Aquamet22 he wouldn't use it if it was free absolute junk so he stirred the stink pot again

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.

I would say I wouldn't buy a A22 shaft from a particular supplier, or put my #1 prop on a A22 shaft that was in a boat I bought. More than likely, I would use it for a transom bar.

I have no problem with the age of the machines at Glenwood. The shaft that was in my boat was a K Monel shaft from Glenwod and was in it for 5 years when I bought it. I reversed the rotation of the shaft by driving the boat off the flywheel{previous owner off the snout). I ran it for 3 hears like that, then reversed it back to off the snout, and ran it another 3 years before I decided I was pushing my luck and replaced it with a K Monel from Glenwod, and I STILL use the old shaft in the enduro (5 to date). I say its doing pretty well compared to some shafts I have seen.

The K Monel shaft Glenwood cut for Rudy's Allison boat won two Salton Sea 500, the Lake Berryessa 6 hr, and ran a couple Parker 9 hrs, transmitting 1500 lbs of torque the entire time, moving a whaling ship 85-90 AVERAGE, and the shaft is still in the boat to this day.

than all the previous talk about having the the surface to tip speed constant at all diameters doesn't mean that much or how the keyway is cut either

they broach cut the keyway , and the prop shaft taper is cut on a old engine lathe, than put into a chucker to have the threads cut.. look on the shelf outside the door at the rack of shafts .. almost everyone has both ends cut and one trashed with red dyekem on it. they charge a 75.00 tool charge for aqua met and kmonel because it tears up there tools ... hmmm.

I don't give a fuck if its if its turned a pre WWI lath, its the guy standing at it. What fuck do I care what the end of it looks like on the rack. I helped Bob load a shipment of material on to those racks years ago. You think the shit from the mill had polished ends???? Look like it had been cut off with giant bolt cutters. So the fuck what!!!

BTW, I watched Bob make my shaft, and it never went into some freek'n chucker for the threads,
