It appears that I need to replace one of my prop shafts.:banghead: Does anyone have any similar experiences? If so any information on where you found the replacement, cost, etc would be really helpful and greatly appreciated.

I understand most good prop-shops can fabricate one for you. Cost :dunno:

Esquire,
Here is a site that may give you some ballpark numbers based on your shaft size, material, and length. You sure you need them replaced???.
I had a shop straighten one of my AQ19's when I did my repower. Is the issue corrosion?

Thanks for the information. NO, I cannot say for sure they need replaced, boat still in water, but the mechanic who I had check the alignment says the stb shaft is bent because he cannot get the shaft aligned properly and it wobbles in the log. I grounded last fall, not hard but enough to do some damage to my props. I replaced them this spring with nice HyTorq CNC machined nibral ones. I dont get any vibrations running the boat. So the question is to be sure, do I trust the mechanic??? Even just checking the shaft requires me to pull the boat and shaft.
