⚙️ Key Features

• Marine Propulsion group propeller shaft
• 16.248 kg
• Supersedes 828279
• No published length, diameter or taper — order by part number

🔌 Function

Transmits the drive from the gearbox coupling through the stern tube to the propeller, carrying both torque and propeller thrust.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Vibration through the hull that builds with engine speed
• Shaft bent or running out of true when rolled
• Scored or stepped where it passes through the bearing and seal
• Pitting or crevice corrosion along the shaft
• Taper picked up or keyway spread so the propeller will not pull up tight

🛠️ Service Notes

• Set the engine and coupling alignment properly when the new shaft goes in — misalignment will damage it again
• Renew the stern gland seal and cutless bearing while the shaft is out
• This is a heavy item and will be freighted accordingly
