Received my replacement AM 22 1 1/2" shaft and new prop from Frank & Jimmy's Ft Laud.today . My machinest had to fit and face . Didn't even have a dimple in it. Well back to high performance shafting again, Spooned, beveled,Bronze keys, made that sucker straight as a laser. Now to check my alignment to less than .004 and go from there. Good thing I put some bottom paint on my dingy(Can Do It is on a lift at my home)Fun filled weekend . Bride has Pleurisy with an injured rib so we didn't plan any Christmas parties anyway.

After shaft and prop is done atack on a very small coolant leak in my starboard engine. Never ending but all that seems to go away as soon as we get up on plane. Bride says us boat guys have a brain disorder. Well I can say a lot about them too but this is an orderly board. Have a great weekend gents as I sit in my dingy "gettin the shaft" Thank goodness for Tefgel. Dave K
