This type of arrangement does provide some support for the shaft because you have the gland packing around the shaft and the flexible connector is stiff but does allow some movement. Note that you have a water feed from the engine - have you kept this? Also the end of the tube is a bronze casting which you may find has enough "meat" to machine to take a length of cutless. This will give positive support and ensure that the shaft runs true. However, if you do go that route you will need a flexible coupling to take up engine movement. If the shaft is knocking against the bronze it sounds far worse than it actually is! Hope this helps Post Extras       Entire topic Subject Posted by Posted on 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Alanpat 07/05/2008 21:28 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal doug748   09/05/2008 18:10 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Alanpat   10/05/2008 08:34 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal fastjedi   08/05/2008 23:22 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal scottie   08/05/2008 17:39 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Alanpat   08/05/2008 18:00 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal scottie   08/05/2008 19:55 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal 30boat   08/05/2008 23:02 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal doug748   08/05/2008 10:52 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal 30boat   08/05/2008 09:51 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal oilyrag   08/05/2008 07:26 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal webcraft   07/05/2008 21:41 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   07/05/2008 22:50 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal john_morris_uk   08/05/2008 07:39 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   08/05/2008 08:57 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Robin   08/05/2008 09:23 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   08/05/2008 11:10 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal webcraft   08/05/2008 22:05 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   08/05/2008 22:42 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal webcraft   09/05/2008 00:04 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   12/05/2008 16:24 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal webcraft   12/05/2008 18:41 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Robin   08/05/2008 13:46 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   08/05/2008 15:21 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Robin   08/05/2008 16:53 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   08/05/2008 18:06 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Alanpat   08/05/2008 18:22 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   08/05/2008 19:52 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   08/05/2008 19:54 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Alanpat   08/05/2008 07:42 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal john_morris_uk   09/05/2008 07:49 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal doug748   09/05/2008 11:29 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal MGambling   08/05/2008 09:31 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Tranona   07/05/2008 23:12 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal sailorman   07/05/2008 21:31 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal Alanpat   07/05/2008 21:33 Re: 2 Bladed Folding Props & PSS Dripless Shaft Seal sailorman   07/05/2008 21:34 Extra information 10 registered and 16 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
