When inspecting the hull of my 89 nautique I noticed something that did not look right where the prop shaft goes through the hull. I don't think it is anything major but something is missing and I need someone to tell me what I need so I can replace it.

That's the way the bottom of my 87 SN looks. Seems like maybe there should be a fitting, seal, or soemthing but I dont know? ------------- Bill http://www.freewebs.com/billsboatworks - http://www.freewebs.com/billsboatworks www.freewebs.com/billsboatworks 1987 SN Rebuild Project |

Perhaps some sort of rubber as protection whenever the shaft enters the hole?

You should always use some sort of rubber protection when your shaft enters the hole. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=972&sort=&pagenum=4&yrstart=1976&yrend=1980" rel="nofollow - 1978 Nautique FBook - www.facebook.com/charliedontsurfct |

Ok so if it's not some type of rubber protectant, I will guess a lubricant. The shaft/hole interface looks quite dry. ------------- |

Hollywood, it sounds like you may be confused about which hole the shaft should be in, normally the correct hole is self lubricating. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1143" rel="nofollow - Mi Bowt |

Some holes have carpet around them, but arent usually that loose on the shaft, check for reproduction status, and perhaps aftermarket shaft enhancer? ------------- Travs Where there is a will, there is a way, and where there is a way, it usually costs more money. 1980 Ski Nautique |

Check with the previous owner to find out how many times the shaft has been removed and then put back in. An abused hole will get stretched out over time. ------------- |

Always make sure your parts are clean before inserting your shaft into the hole, otherwise there could be some contamination, and with clean parts it is easier to find the source. ------------- Travs Where there is a will, there is a way, and where there is a way, it usually costs more money. 1980 Ski Nautique |

You must always make sure the hole is clean before you insert the shaft, the best way to do this is stick your nose in it and take a big whiff...and hope it dont smell fishy!!

It's a good thing we're talking about a model year '89 here, or we'd all be going to jail.

Boat Doctor here,
As best i can tell from the above posts,we are surrounded with some very sharp mechanical minds.But the winter nites are starting to affect the way the brain behaves. A little more sunlight is known to help with this illness."Lakabotime",is a progressive and potent life threatening malady. As of now there is no cure,some on this thread seem to have some of the cla$$is side affects,but Hrydrotherapy ,seems to help. jbear and i live far enough South that we can get our required dosage,for those further north come play with us......... ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

There seems to be some confusion on the matter. When it comes to the hole, maybe we should ask our resident expert, AbunDiga. You out there??? ------------- |

I'm not sure now if I'm ever gonna post another legitimate request for help after this thread, however I did have to share it with all the guys in the office. But I'm headed out now for dinner at a bar/restaurant called UNCLE MILF'S LAKE NORMAN TAVERN. I swear to God I am. (Yes, I listen to Bob and Tom on the radio, now and then, and Donnie Baker kills me). I'll post picts of it. If we have a Mid-Atlantic reunion we'll hang there. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Nate: The boat dr and I got sunshine to spare down south here. The door is always open and the '80 is ready to get wet. C'mon down.

put some of that shine in the boat and see how she runs, just kidding that would be a waist of a perfectly good drink. There is plenty of gas for the boat, we don't need to waste the good stuff. ------------- |

So is any thing missing from his boat? Mine looks like that too, and I've always thought it looked a bit unfinnished. This was an awesome thread though; good fun for the cold season. ------------- Work to live, not live to work. |
