 Why treaded shafts ? Is there any reason why the LT must have a treaded shaft instead of the regular marine style , using a cone, key and nut ?
Two weeks ago I lost my prop because the shaft broke at the weakest point, the end of the tread.
Please let me know.
P.B.

Re: Why treaded shafts ? I rigged a cone on a SPS Thai shitt kit I had so it would accept a ss prop. I would think that you would want the weakest link to go 1-prop. 2-shaft. 3-more expensive stuff.

Re: Why treaded shafts ? They do threads because its cheap and simple.
But
You have a long tail. The prop possibilities are really endless. Its just a simple nothing fancy straight shaft that can be machined into a hex, tapered, threaded, spline, ect...
Hell this will even work on the GDSD.
