so most of yall know last summer i hit a sunken tree in the bay, im looking to see if anyone knows a good site to pick up a 15 degree strut for my shaft. i know i can probably get it at my dealer but i want to look around and see if i can get it cheaper since half the time the dealers have the higher price
I think kaneboats got his here and was very pleased

Had to buy longer bolts due to flange thickness
That's where I got my shaft. Don't know if they have struts. I'd go with Skidim or at least start there. Are you sure it's a 15 and not a 14 or 16?

it says 15 then under that SEF1951L..i wonder what would be better for wakeboarding
I bought a replacement strut from Elbert's after an encounter with a dead head at 8hrs on the boat.
The mounting surface is thicker but my bolts were just long enough....
ill take a look..anyone know if a different degree strut will help with my wake to be bigger?
i think it could lead to alignment issues when trying to bolt the shaft onto the transmission couplerQuote:

so your saying i should just stay with the 15 then?
Only if you don't want issues in the future. Your shaft angle is kind of fixed based on the motor/tranny angle, the boat fiberglass design, and the strut shaft. You would need to change/adjust all 3 for a change.Quote:

just sent an email to elberts about a shaft and strut..now its time to wait
Elbert's is a all shop in rural Oregon. Luckily he was close enough for me to pick up my replacement shaft and be back on the water quickly.
about 825$ for the strut and shaft but hopefully they can get me a deal
Ouch!
Elbert's repaired my shaft. I guess it is good to be local
yeaaa haha oddly enough the strut cost about 35$ more then the shaft haha
