Re: Clearance between prop and rudder

Good job on the puller! You may want to replace that loose coupler with a new one. I had the same situation. When I showed my coupler to the place where I got my new SS shaft they said no good. The coupler needs to press fit on. That may be contributing to some of the vibration. Just a suggestion.

Re: Clearance between prop and rudder

What is the measurement from the propeller to the rear of the strut? I'm understanding it should be around 3/4 of an inch.

1930 shaft log threads

I'm not familiar with this shaft log assembly that came in the parts box when we bought the boat. We received boxes of parts and I sure some were not for this boat. This was the only shaft log supplied so I'm hopeful this is the correct one. My question is, does the packing box hose go over the thre...

Alternator wiring help needed

This is an early 60's vintage alternator with external voltage regulator. I need help understanding what wire and wire size goes to the four terminals. I see B is marked FLD so that will get FLD labeled wire from the regulator. Thank you.

Another deck seam question

Our boat was restored using the Danenberg enhanced traditional method per the book. My deck seams between planks are opening up causing cracks in the paint. Sikaflex was used for the seams and a interlux boot stripe paint for the white. When the boat sits in the sun for the day the cracks get worse....

I do have a battery box interior size and general location from John K. ...

Re: 1956 Sportsman 17 K Engine Prop shaft length

Thanks Greg,
Do you know what engine the boat had originally? I'm sure it was a Hercules 6 cylinder. There should be some tail tell signs of where it was unless the stringers and engine risers have been removed. Post up some photos of what you have. Just keep the image size small or it will not post.

Re: 1956 Sportsman 17 K Engine Prop shaft length

I do not have a length but once you get the K engine in the boat with the correct mounts and the shaft coupler on the transmission you should be able to insert a round piece of something long enough to extend three and three quarters of an inch past the strut. That is the length of my prop shaft. If...

That makes good sense although my grease guns will leak too after a while of sitting. The penrite lube is very thick although not as thick as wheel bearing grease.

Should there be a gasket at the front between these two pieces shown in the middle photo or is there an internal seal? I've added penrite oil and it's seeping out.
