>> coupler passes the bolts through but they screw into the flange. Makes the heat shrink impossible.

Actually, you may be able to do the shrink tube...

Anybody in need of a pair of #504 Globe DriveSavers new in the box? Wouldn't work on my 34' without shaft machining. Will sell em for $150.00 ea. plus shipping.

My boat has the original couplings but they shafts are not isolated. They conduct current just fine. It would be nice if I could order a kit that has all the non-conductive elements in it. Kind of like a gasket set you can buy for an engine. Included should also be the shaft bushing. I hate the idea of disconnecting the coupling and then floundering around looking for a part.

John Althouse had them but, sadly, I don't think he can supply for a while at least. Meanwhile, the diagram above should be good guidance for everyone.
