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.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

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

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. |

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.. |

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! |

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. |

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. |

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.

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
