I have a 1974 SN with a bent shaft. Currently it's an A.R.E. Shaft system. 50-1/8" x 1". Can I run a stock shaft without the stock couplers?
Thanks |

Matthew,
Stick with the double taper ARE shaft. If you went back to a single taper you would need a new coupling half. Welcome and how about some pictures of the 74! |

Anybody heard of Turn Wright Machine in Cape Cod? Talked with him yesterday. Half the price of new shaft. He has a bunch of you tube videos. Wish there was someone closer who had the skills to straighten. How do I post pics?

I have a single taper shaft out of a 80 SN with coupler. Measures 50-1/8"
You will have to pull motor or at least lift high enough to slide shaft from inside to install. $75 plus the ride. |

Heading to Back to the Fifties in Minnesota today. Figured there's way more boat people there. So I started calling around and found a prop shop who has a machinist who is going to straighten my bent driveshaft!!! Basically drop it off tomorrow and pick it up next week before leaving town. It'll be $250 labor. It's called Formula prop and marine. I will post the results. Should be around half the price of a new shaft.
Cheers |

This math is suspect. Subtract 10% and you're at $370 for a dual taper ARE from SkiDIM. http://www.skidim.com/mobile/ARE-SHAFT-SYSTEM-1-X-4-COUPLER/productinfo/WS%2D2000/ |

10% off for being a member here!? I was looking at prices between 5-6 hundo online. I called skidim for a price. Still waiting for a call back. If I had a cream puff vessel I would buy a new one. Mine probably has close to 100,000 hours on it. Thought it might be helpful to others with piles of bent shafts too??
