• How far can a prop shaft overhang
  • There is a formula used
    • We have a lot more than that?
      • If you have a lot more than that
      • You are right, upon reflection I don't have a lot more on my 1-1/2" propeller shaft
    • Two prop and shaft shops told me the same thing, Larry
  • If it worked well before...
    • It does work, but with vibrations that
      • Shaft whip can bend it permanently.
      • A "whip" is function a complicated series of harmonics
  • Prop overhang
  • Here is our 1 1/4" shaft on a Catalina 42
    • Did you have vibration?
      • Yes and No.
        • Under what conditions?
          • It is not actually a vibration.
