Reply To: Martin 40 prop shaft housing

[78bluestreak]

thank you Buc!
this is what I have.
I was unable to remove the lower (skag) unit to check for wear.
I ordered a new bearing housing and bearing seal.
my bearing housing has a flat spot where the shaft comes down.
the new stock Russ sent does not have the flat spot. this is where I noted wear. I thought the shaft had moved down due to wear from a missing or worn part and cut into the bearing housing.
so I replaced the seal and once the motor runs (could be a while) I’ll return to check for wear.
