## 🔌 Function

Transmits drive from the gear set to the propeller and carries the thrust the propeller generates back into the drive's bearings.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Vibration through the drive that rises with shaft speed
-   Oil weeping at the shaft seal, or water found in the drive oil
-   Seal track on the shaft scored or grooved
-   Splines at the propeller end worn, fretted or twisted
-   Bearing rumble felt through the drive housing

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Renew the shaft seals and check the bearing surfaces whenever the shaft is out
-   Inspect the propeller hub and its splines for matching wear, since a worn hub will damage a new shaft
-   Fishing line wrapped behind the propeller is a common cause of seal and shaft damage, so check for it
