We did this on Persistence. Other end of line was attached to a stanchion. Strut was bent and minor damage to stern tube.
Suggest you remove fuel tank as suggested earlier and inspect stern tube carefully as well as shaft for any bends. Have some one check the alignment of the shaft with the engine as well once the strut is rebidded. Might also be a good time to change out cutlass bearing if it has any wear This was a $6000 job for us. We had a worn cutlass bearing which had a wear spot on shaft so those were both replaced (only due to the wear) and accounted for $2000 of this repair Mike Persistence Halifax, NS From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Tom Alessi via CnC-List Sent: Monday, November 21, 2016 4:57 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Tom Alessi Subject: Stus-List Fw: Strut Hey, Recently wrapped a line around my prop/shaft and found some damage and a loose prop strut when the boat was hauled.
