Dripless prop shaft seal is leaking on moomba v drive

Glad you got it!

Now it is the home stretch. Only pain now is the key-way key during assembly.
Get everything clean, install the Glide seal, and bolt it all back together.

My oscillating tools have saved me a few times. Take a drink, get warm and relax. Always tomorrow to finish it. Like HFarr said, no deadlines on boats in the winter.

2 beers and 2 manhattans actually. Hit the spot. Re key way, figured installing with it on the bottom is easiest?

Intend on finishing the job tomorrow. Keep you posted.

Done! Everything went back on easily. Only snag is where I marked where the coupler was on the shaft got erased but it seems it’s a foolproof system since where it stops is basically where it needs to, just at the end of the key-way and with the shaft end just near the end of the coupler, without protruding.

Was not an easy task but would have been unthinkable without this community and [mention]Holdmybeer [/mention] specifically! Glad I did it and it’s one more thing I now understand about my boat.

And No more dead battery due to auto bilge pump!

Bought a fake-a-lake ages ago and never used it so will use to test in the spring before putting in the water.

Now I need to find someone to fix my prop since I noticed a few nicks and a little bend in one of the wings…

Wishing everyone a great new year with lots of fun on the water!

You are more than welcome.
This is what good forums are for.

Let us know how things go in the spring! Happy new year!
