Been lapped -- just got it back from the prop shop
In Response To: LAP the mating surfaces ()
We picked up a slight vibration last year and I brought it all in for a "tune". They checked and trued the shaft, lapped the shaft and hub, and faced the coupling. They also cut the shaft an inch shorter to compensate for a flexible coupling I added. S&S Propeller in Queens NY.
