12' XLV Replacing drive shaft

[Holdmybeer]

Just to update. I called elberts and spoke with Brian. Very helpful and good pricing. Bought some tools that are designed to remove the coupler. It's an ARE Shaft. Glide dripless shaft seal will be going in too.

I called and spoke with glide and they recommended going in from the back of the boat so that is the route I'm taking. Will try to post updates as I feel like there isn't much info on this job

If you need help, reach out. Never broke a shaft but did have to remove everything you are to replace my dripless. Tim @ Glide helped me get everything I needed. Did you also get new strut bearings? You are removing everything already, might want to check them.

After doing some digging around on Strut bearings mine look like they're in good shape.

What kind of boat are you running? There sure is like No room to work under my vdrive and transmission unit on my mobius

I have a 2015 Mojo. It is tight but being 23ft long everything is a little stretched out.

I had about 8" from driplees seal to coupler. The coupler is 2-3" from the fuel tank. Just have to stay calm and go slow. Anytime I try to do something fast on a boat I break something or get hurt.
