well tests were fine!! works great, I lifted the dog house and put the lift arm in place and no movement on the floor panel...I also tried full open and also no floot movement. The joint is under the rear seat so is not visible at all. Pics to follow at nigth

Ok, mine is on ± 500 engine hours from when they put a new shaft and prop in there. I will wait till next winter when i'm planning to do a transmission rebuilt. Thanks for the info.

Bart,
Alot really depends on how well the shaft to strut alignment is maintained. I've seen them go in one season but on the average, I'd say 600 to 700 running hours in clean water is a good figure. |

before i start doing anything, what is the average lifetime of those bearings?
i'm only boating in fresh clean water so no sand/beaching or anything. |

A single taper shaft is a little bit more of a PITA, but its not aweful. Getting it in and out is much simpler than trying to get the strut back perfectly aligned... thats not an easy task to do with the boat completeley gutted, let alone if the shaft and log hose are still installed! |

it is indeed much simpler to remove the shaft anyway as you note Tim... Always speaking if you have a dual taper shaft...single taper is more tricky though.. |

That approach opens up a whole different can of worms when it comes time to realign the drivetrain. It is much simpler to just remove the shaft. |

what you can do is remove the strut w/o removing the shaft, then replace the bearing and put the strut back in place..

Looks great, Let us know how it works on the water and trailer, I plan to copy I am just concerned abot the smaller panel having the mass to stay in place. I will let you be the guinny pig.

I ended up using a black plastic trim. The joint of the panels is supposed to be 1" below the rear seat so unless removed it won't be visible..

You could also just wrap the carpet around that seam and attach it underneath if you didn't want to mess with the aluminum trim piece. It may hide better that way also. Whichever way, show us some pics of the results.

i went ahead and cut the panel in 2..I went first and cut the carpet with the cutter..then grabbed the circular saw and splitted the panel in half. The the idea was to lay a coat of resin and cloth on the exposed edges of the wood..but my resin accelerator dryed, need to buy some in order to finish...I will also put an alluminun edge on the joint to give a finish and so that the carpet don´t peel off.. |

well..down here we have lots of debris floating around in the water and tides also make depth changes a lot..so it's "normal" for us to hit something or ground it at least once every year if not more..so having the two panels would save some time.
Yes the seem would definetely be visible w/o the rear seat but I'd do it on the edge of the seat so when it's in position there's no visible joint. Might tackle the task on the winter. pictures of today's assy old bearing was directly vulcanized in the strut 
bare strut 
sliding it in... 
shaft in

Its definitely a pain to pull that rear panel off- the motorbox, rear seat and any rear panels need to come out first. Your idea would certainly make it easier... but really, if youre not constantly hitting stuff, that panel almost never has to come up. The only real maintenance item under there is the packing- and that hardly ever needs attention. If you split that panel, you'll be left with an unsightly seam in the floor when the rear seat is out.
Just a counterargument! |
