I have a small machine shop at home so I decided to make a new propeller shaft. I had a pc. of 1" s.s. shafting so that's what I made it out of. The hardest part is to get the taper for the propeller to the exact right angle... so I made a dummy out of aluminum first before I cut the stainless steel one. It came out really nice. I also put a new split coupling on it and repacked my shaft seal and put a new shaft seal rubber on. I also replaced my cutless bearing...
