| Post subject: | Shaft turning in U-Joint |
I have a beavertail lt and I can not keep my prop from ridding up the drive shaft. It has dammanged my lower bearing seal cap which I will replace. The guy at beavertail told me that the entire drive shaft is spinning in the yoke causing the prop to ride up. I do not see how this is possible due to there is a key way in the shaft and the yoke with a key that seems to me would make it impossible to spin in the yoke. Can anyone help me figure out what might be happening? Thanks! |

Is your key broke? this is just a guess but there also may be a set screw to tighten it up. if its not tight it can still ride up because your prop is pushin the shaft.. again thats just my guess. |

You are right on with the prop pushing the shaft up in to the yoke. I guess the set screws were not tight enough. On the drive shaft the threads for the prop stop at a certain point. Is there suppose to be a small gap or space of the non threaded shaft between the end of the bearing assembly and the nut ahead of the prop (heavy jam nut)? I hope I explained this clear enough. I belive this small gap of non threaded shaft would keep the prop off of the bearing assembly if my thinking is correct. |

Fo Sho! Its a small world. I have been unable to finish repairing this thing as I have been waiting on parts from beavertail. I also have a carberator problem, but I will not be able to start on that till I can get it in the water. We'll have to go for a ride or it seems I am always looking for someone to go huntn with at some point during the season. U got a mud boat? |
