Love it when a plan comes together.
At 7am I started to remove the prop and shaft. Everything came right off. By 11:30 I had the engine disconnected and had to wait for the yard to come by with the lift truck. The engine was sitting in the shop by 3pm. By 4pm the strut was sitting in the bed of my truck.
Now I just have to find someone that can take the the twist out of the strut, take the bend out of the shaft and re-pitch one blade on the prop.
Not bad for a days work.

I have pictures of the area where the strut is attached to the hull if anyone is interested. I would have to say that it is pretty substantial design. The area is actually molded into the hull. After the strut is bolted to the hull ( sealed with silicone) there appears to be about 3/4″ of solid resin there. The last 3/8 – 1/2″ is built up with what looks like fairing compound. Because it’s not faired out too far (pretty much a square recess) is why there appears to be a constant crack around the area.
The strut went to a place in Baltimore called Miller Island to be straightened. The strut is a LARGE HEAVY casting.
