Prop Shaft

[gn7]

Did you ask him if they look like this?
And the if the shafts are 2 pieces?
Things have changed a little since going to the dual props, but I don't know if I would trust any rear shaft for an entire season.

MAYBE if it was keyless. MAYBE

from what i seen is the shaft has splines on one end going direct into a coupler on the W drive and the prop end is just a taper , but they do use a huge impact to torque the prop nut to 250 plus pounds and there is no keyway

When you think about it, how far does the shaft have to move the boat. How many revolutions does it even spin. A top fuel dragster spins less 550 times light to light IN A 1/4 MILE!! The stuff is under a tremendous strain, but not for very long.

A full season of drag racing won't get a full lap at the Parker enduro

your right about that ...
than again the very best of the best manufactures run all types of endurance racing , parts fail thats all there is, most material fails are machining and over stressed..

X'2... Plus a drag boat isn't constantly coming out of the water at WOT releasing the torsion and hammering the shaft when it makes contact with the water again.

Just the hull lifting and falling, and heavy chop, without the boat coming out of the water will vary the load on the shaft

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.
