While I've got the time on the hard, I've pulled the prop shaft for inspection and to replace the visibly old and tired stuffing box hose
to my disbelief, the vast majority of marine supply stores do not carry the correct hose for the application
it is suggested that a minimum of 4 ply hose be used and not the more common 2 ply marine exhaust hose. Sure the marine exhaust hose can be substituted and I believe that's what I removed, but in the case of a sink or float item, I think the answer is quit obvious.
Think it's round two on Monday to some marine fitters/service shops to get the "right stuff"

now if I could only find a supplier with the correct stuffing box hose
its a joke that the vast majority of marine outfitters don't carry the correct article

Chris,
thanks for the reply
been down that road and many others
i've left it to soak in penetrant for a couple of days and will get back at with with longer bolts a a better array of spacers
I've also dug up my heat gun, hopefully with all these in my arsenal, I'll beat the curse of the prop shaft flange

So I figure while on dryland I'd replace the old and worn shaft packing and theshaft log
packing no big deal, but what the headache the shaft log has been
I cannot for the life of me get the shaft to slip free of the trans flange
I've tried many things to no avail

what would the approximate time be before requiring a pump out? I know this is entirely dependent on usage but if I could get some input here would be great
I'm having bowl backup to what I believe is abnormally premature
thanks

anyone have the correct dimensions for a tack fast pin on a MkV?
getting allot of conflicting information so far
my crude measurements give me an indication of 1-1/4 working length 1-1/2 overall and a diameter of 1/2
please chime in, tired of roping it
