Stus-List Coupling bolts shearing
Hi Jim,
My first question is, "Did someone recommend and use stainless steel
bolts, say 316L, as the "best" for marine
application?"
Cheers,

The boat in question is an 81
landfall 38.
The v-drive coupling bolts have sheared off 3 times and caused loss of
power.
Have been very careful to pause when changing gears.
The westerbeak engine runs great throughout all this. The shaft removed
and checked after the second time. The 2 bladed max prop sent back
and rebuilt. New motor mounts installed by po when replacing engine.
About 4 years ago (<200 hours on engine) coupling. Allignment done
each time and found okay.
I am looking for advice, suggestions, similar situations and
corrections. HELP
Losing confidence in boat.
Thanks
