Re: Shaft repair via brazing?

[frankr]

quote Buccaneer:

Frank, how much would you suggest to grind out the
groove in the shaft seal area before brazing?

Oh, I dunno, shouldn’t take a whole lot. If you did a good brazing job, the brass shouldn’t be coming loose, if that is what you are thinking. Personally, I’m more concerned with the effect of the required heat and its effect on the strength of the shaft. The whole thing is shade tree engineering, so I guess you just go by your gut feeling. And take a paddle when you go out.
