Propeller shaft coupling is HOT Printed From: CorrectCraftFan.com Category: General Correct Craft Discussion Forum Name: General Discussion Forum Discription: Anything Correct Craft URL: http://www.CorrectCraftFan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=438 Printed Date: June-02-2024 at 3:41pm Topic: Propeller shaft coupling is HOT Posted By: Jamie Subject: Propeller shaft coupling is HOT Date Posted: June-03-2004 at 12:14pm I just ran my '68 nautique last night for fifteen minutes, came back to my mooring to check the gland nut drip (it was fine, just a drip or three every minute) and realized that the coupling was very hot to the touch. The transmission was cool, the shaft was Ok, but the coupling was hot? Is this normal? I repacked the stuffing box last year with flax/teflon combo and all seems fine down there... with the exeption of this. Could it be an shaft alignment issue? Many Thanks! ------------- 1968 SN 1548 Replies: Posted By: nms1991 Date Posted: June-07-2004 at 2:23am you may have the coupling too tight try losening it a quarter of a turn.
