Well I'm dead in the water again. The edge had a solid shaft which some said wouldnt work, others said it might. Walter V-drive said it would'nt, but they are trying to sell a 2,000 dollar jack shaft. For 40 hrs the shaft ran smooth, then the packing started leaking really badly and shaft started wobbling. I think it was after nailing the throttle in reverse trying to avoid another boat in a slip when the wind was blowing hard. So now the boat yard said it certainly needs a telescoping jack shaft with a u joint. BTW, mine didnt even have a u-joint. So, does anyone know where I could find a used jack shaft with a u-joint? many thanks
Have you checked with a custom drive shaft shop?
Not yet, but I'm leaning that way. I heard Pete W makes them. I really dont understand what the heck is going on with these alignment and such
