By accident I found a quick and effective way of removing the prop shaft from the coupling.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
Attach a 50 foot 5/8 dock line to your forward stb cleat.
Let it drag in the the water until you start the engine
Put engine in fwd gear and rev up to 2000 rpm.
As the line wraps around the prop shaft between the prop and the strut it will quickly pull the shaft out of the coupling (it acts as a screw as the line is wrapped around the shaft)
no muss – no fuss – don’t even have to get your hands dirty
Add 20 knots of wind and coral reefs on either side of you and it makes for a complete afternoon.
Thanks to Walt P ( Madness Hull #1) for the assistance in getting it back together.
