⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration through the hull rising with shaft speed

• Fretting and corrosion at the splines on withdrawal
• Spline flanks worn or twisted, found on strip-down
• Runout or a visible bend when the shaft is rolled and checked

🛠️ Service Notes

• Measure the installation and order by part number - the five shafts here share their fitment list and differ only in length
• At 57 kg this needs lifting equipment and a planned route out of the engine space
• Put the driveline alignment right before fitting, or the new shaft will fail in the same way
