Prop - Rudder Clearance Help

[jmvotto]

Berg, I feel for you, that does not look right.

If you still got the old prop you ran last year, and if you ran this shaft with your old prop last year and no issues then maybe its really not an issue at all. Other wise if you havnt run the boat since the new prop i would at least call AWS and ask them what htye honestly think.

This guy works with/sells shafts and rudders in Dayton, OR. He will know.

Agree! Kaneboats got a replacement shaft from him last summer and was very pleased.

Ok Berg , hope these help. 1 1/8 from rear of strut to face of prop. Had to help my buddy put ina Perko switch. Pic #3 I think is the one you want.

Thanks for the help fellas. Dropped off at the dealer this morning without a glitch except for the steady rain...

Hopefully they will still be able to turn it around quickly so the old MobV doesn't have to sit out in this weather longer than necessary. My cover acts more like a sponge rather than water resistant.

Hope they take care of this for you. You reminded me I need to send my bent shaft down to Tampa to get it straightened. It'll be nice having a spare shaft, flange, strut and prop all ready to go (whispering just in case.

Did you replace all that last time around on your own? It doesn't look like that bad of a job - just hard to reach most of it on mine.

Kane only have one more weekend to use it since your entering the "no Flint river boating season" before the Sinlcair jam.

dont forget I can tote that drive shaft back north to help you out.

Let's see what I remember about this job . . .

Oh yeah, it was July in GA so a bit on the toasty side. But, me and Moombadaze didn't mind too much as we sat in the shade with some ice cold suds while kane and 11Outback V broiled in, under and around the boat.

Wolfe, just so long as its not our turn this year
