@Lewis Cooke, Thanks for looking. My hull is 305, from 1973. It would be a number that might be on the prop strut. I'm assuming that your prop shaft is also off center. I'm wondering if it also looks tilted to port. I know it's off center to port but is the strut also tilted in that way?

I am trying to find a prop strut for an early C&C 30 mk1 with the offset prop shaft. It appears that in pulling the boat the rear strap overlapped the prop shaft putting a bend in it so when starting it the following summer the oscillations almost immediately snapped the strut. The boatyard denied all responsibility. I had a propeller shop make me a new one out of stainless steel. Still, I would like to have what the boat came with. Algonquin iron works may have made the original but my strut did not have a casting number on it and they said I absolutely needed a casting number as they have countless molds but not stored by application. I tried boat salvage but no luck. This year, I'm planning on completely unbolting the Atomic 4 and spending the time on mounting the strut so the new shaft slides through the cutlass and stuffing box. Hopefully, remounting the engine to mate. Any input or insight would be appreciated. I do my own work and enjoy the time spent if it actually makes for progress.
