[C38] Prop shaft replacement

[Rob Cornelsen]

Max,
 
It would be better to have the local shop do the work (fabricate and / or order replacement parts it so you do not end up getting the wrong length and /or combination of parts - Also, I would recomend making sure that the coupling and the shaft are made from the same materials.

Max I had my shaft and all new couplings replaced last year there is a place in Maryland that did it for $400 US, I can get the name if you are interested.

I was going to have it machined at a local shop, but  the 1" Aquamet 19 stainless steel is not available here in Costa Rica, so I'm planning to buy a new shaft at Catalina Direct, unless someone redirects me to another vendor with a better price ($289) and the same shaft quality.  
>I am 90% that my shaft length is 44-3/4". Does this sounds about right??? The original specs defer a lot from each other..And also, Bob Gouley said that his shaft was 47", so I better ask!
