I installed something similar to that on my 34. I ended up with the Buck Algonquin one instead cause that is what the shop had in stock, something like https://www.deepblueyachtsupply.com/split-marine-transmission-coupling-50401s1250?gclid=Cj0KCQjwhuvlBRCeARIsAM720Hq3qLvxJHYSic4AWJVJlO-IPKKMgdGfJr5HjDWzpnIgkkCipTVrGUgaAoyfEALw_wcB Since it isn’t split all the way it still has to be fit and faced and I still had to tap it onto the end of the shaft during instal which wasn’t easy. Probably was easier than without and I like that the bolt heads are less likely to strip compared to the square things in the old coupler. Hoping you are right that it will come off easier when the time comes (had to cut the old one off the shaft). Sub ideal solution if you ask me that it isn’t fully split into two parts but I guess it is too hard to ensure it is centered to prevent vibration of they do that. Also not clear to me why they don’t make these out of stainless - obviously cost but still. I probably should have painted the outside before installing it but I was under too much pressure to get the boat out of the yard it was in at the time so I just threw it in and we went.
