Re: Wear - Shaft
Now that the rudders are done - Yes - that is an obvious and excellent suggestion. That did not cross my mind!!

Re: Need a strut
Yes - I think I can take the ones from the 1" props and use them on the new rudders. I had the old plastic ones on the rudders and they came out in pieces.

Re: Need a strut
Sounds like that would work for this bearing DEENA 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" x 5" Johnson Cutless Non-Metallic Bearing. I will send you a PM. Last Question - Looks like the hole coming into the boat for the shaft, don't know the technical term for it, is about 1 1/2 inches I.D. That does not le...

Re: Project anyone???
