Tonight’s update is regarding my drive line.
Below are some pics of how I intend to install it but would like approval
Starting at prop end, there is the prop screwed on to the shaft nipping up to the nut, then the thrust washer.
This goes up against the bearing on the tube.
The other end has a thrust washer, then a locking collar which is fastened to a non threaded part of the shaft.
Then a little bit of thread before the nut which is nipped up to the coupling.
There is a small gap between the coupling and the motor.
Is this sounding right?
I want expecting to need a locking collar but as it turns out, due to the length of thread on each end and then location of the parts I do need one.
There will be a very small, less than 1mm movement from for and aft movement of the prop shaft.
