Prop Shaft

[gn7]

I've seen some little sleeves that had a taper to the front that had holes drilled so water could supposedly pass through to the bushing. They only used two little set screws to hold them in place though. Can you get your shaft out without removing the rudder?

Yeah,I think Bergeron may have made those up. I got one that was on a used shaft I bought for the material. It would work better than nothing. But back to back speed runs didn't show ours made any difference and the bushings last so we I leave it. As touchy as the boat is to props and its location on the shaft, I would have thought it might jack with the handling of the boat as well. But Bill says it doesn't. Move the prop back a 1/8th, and sounds off like a little girl.
