🔌 Function

Carries the drive from the gearbox coupling out through the stern gear to the propeller, taking both the torque and the thrust the propeller develops.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration through the hull that worsens with revs
• Shaft visibly bent or running out of true when turned by hand
• Scoring, grooving or a step worn where the shaft runs in the bearing or seal
• Corrosion, pitting or crevice attack along the shaft
• Keyway spread, or the taper picked up and no longer pulling the propeller up tight

🛠️ Service Notes

• Have the shaft checked for straightness and the coupling alignment set before blaming a new shaft for vibration
• Renew the stern gland seal and cutless bearing while the shaft is out
• Measure the old shaft carefully — no dimensions are published against either shaft listed here
