does this collar with the set screws sticking out move? I can't get the nut back far enough to be able to replace packing.

David,
FYI, that collar is the safety collar. If the prop shaft breaks say at the trans, it prevents the shaft from moving aft. A shaft breaking at the trans is one of the problems caused by poor engine to shaft alignment. |

dang salt water.
OK. I'll "work" with it tomorrow. I watched your most excellent vid on prop alignment yesterday Pete. I've done it several times, but it's time again with everything out. It started with new fuel sender. Then rudder packing, now shaft packing and alignment. |

Just got one of these off of e-bay. It is spit so you can take it on or off without removing the coupling. Also the split type will not mark the shaft. All S/S

David,
If you can't get it loose, you may need to cut the collar. I would use a cut off wheel in a die grinder (Dremmel) and cut close to the shaft. Then driving a cold chisel in the slot should open up the ID enough to free the collar. |

Duane, not sure what the eBay price is but I grabbed several of the split collar stainless ones from amazon for $14 (free shipping). Cheap insurance.

I suggest not reinstalling it. Order the 2 piece type and install it when it arrives. Took 2 days for me to get mine. Just my $.02 |

Can you guys be a little more specific about the 2 piece collar(part number, etc.)? Looking to do that for mine. Didn't mean to hi-jack this! Thanks

I sure love this site...I reference it all the time and should post more often.
New fuel sender, repacked rudder stuffing, shaft alignment, repacked shaft seal, general clean up the bilge (pretty clean anyway). Feels so good to get it all done. Excited to get on the water this week and see how dry the bilge is. Thanks everyone. |
