So what did the first shop say? They couldn't braze the fractures?

First shop simply said they don’t repair struts. I’ll check the second shop tomorrow.

Hollywood, thanks. If the 6A6 ends up being my best option, I’ll take it.   I’ll check with White Lake and N3 today.
    White Lake was going to verify the 6A6 option with the factory.

Richard,
The 6A6 has a aft end drop of 5" and a shaft angle of 15 degrees. There's a reason CC used the 6DV!! Unless Boatland is willing to modify your hull to fit a different strut, I highly recommend you get some measurements off your existing 6DV and compare them to the measurements I posted of the S141 and the 6A6.

Pete, Yes. I completely agree with you. I don’t want to start modifying.

Did you or Boatland talk with the shop?

Per Indy Prop Shop's website, they have a complete machine shop so they may be a good one to contact. Plus, it also sounds like they have been around for more than 40 years so I'd say in that time they've run across a strut or two?

It will be interesting what the factory comes up with. That list that Pete provided above was given to Zach who was formally at N3 by Bruce who was at Mid West Correct Craft and is now at the factory. There won't be anyone at the factory anymore that knows more than him, I would expect he still uses the same info.

6a6 doesn’t have the wide base, I’m sure it’s not the right option.

Pete, if you go back to Watercraft measuring struts, grab the dimensions off the S14mod and S19mod (both 1-1/8”) struts for me!

Gary,
Interesting indeed! I feel they will have the same results as Watercraft which was zero! Per Ryan, CC has a hard time with current parts!

Richard,
Watercraft's first CC sold was a 1949 Correct Craft Junior. Get your existing strut repaired.

Repair is the focus now. I visited Indy Prop Shop this morning and the owner said he is not comfortable repairing a strut.
Hollywood contacted me and recommended Fox Lake Propeller in I’ll. I left a message on their voice mail and hope to hear back soon.

Richard,
Before you ship the strut out, I suggest looking for welding/fabricating shops. If no luck, I would sent it to Crow Custom Cast I know several ACBS members and a CCfan member who had them do work and the results were fantastic.

I have a strut, shaft, coupler and rudder from a 1973 16’ mustang. I do not have the parts at my house and cannot confirm any identifying marks on the strut. the rudder is a 27A. If interested, I can send the pics I do have and confirm measurements tomorrow

Pete, big thanks for another contact. Fox Lake didn’t answer their phone or return my call today. I’ll try again next week.
    z3tyger- thank you. If I have no luck with repair, I’ll get with you.

Long over due update. Sent damaged strut to be repaired. In the meantime, z3tyger contacted me with a 6DV in perfect condition. Super nice guy.   Repaired strut came back a few degrees off. It makes a nice paperweight and could possibly be used as backup if z3’s is the last one on earth. z3’s strut is on the boat and I’ve had a couple of great seasons with it. If there are any other nice 6DV’s out there, I’d be interested.
Sincere thanks everyone for all of your help.
