Re: Stus-List Coupler removal to install Dripless Shaft Seal

When I did the dripless seal on my 27, I used a separate plate with drilled holes, bolts and sockets to drive the shaft out of the coupling. I did not use the flange on the engine. Tighten, kroil penetrating oil (protecting the engine shaft seal from it) tap, rotate, repeat. Took 2 days! Along with

Re: Stus-List Coupler removal to install Dripless Shaft Seal

When I did this I tried everything I could to pull the coupling off. In the end, I ended up cutting the shaft off using an angle grinder with a cut off wheel and a multi tool in different positions and I had to cut it on a bit of a spiral. It wasn’t fun. Try to cut it into the key way if you can

John, When I did this on my LF38. I ended up pulling the V-drive and pulled the shaft out into the aft cabin. The hardest part was getting the prop off. Doug Mountjoysv Rebecca Leah C&C Landfall 39Port Orchard yacht club Original message From: John Christopher via CnC-List Date

Re: Stus-List Shaft coupling removal

Be careful, because the coupler may be soft enough that it could bend during the procedure. I cut the shaft and replaced it at the time when I installed the PSS. Marek Ottawa, ON Sent from Mail for Windows 10 From: Len Mitchell via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Shaft coupling removal

Ok thanks. Was avoiding taking the coupler or anything like that for fear of damaging the transmission (bearings, etc). /John > On May 19, 2020, at 9:08 PM, Len Mitchell wrote: > > John, I have a puller too but was able to generate more force using the > socket and bolts but to be honest m

Re: Stus-List Shaft coupling removal

John, I have a puller too but was able to generate more force using the socket and bolts but to be honest my puller is a pretty low quality princess auto tool. I may have tapped the coupling with a small hammer when I had some pressure on it too. Len Sent from my iPad > On May 19, 2020, at 9:

Stus-List Shaft coupling removal

John, I had to use a socket on the end of the prop shaft and pressed the coupling off using longer bolts and nuts of the same size. Some folks have actually cut theirs but with 2$ worth of bolts you can press it off quite easily if there is enough room. Check your cutlass bearing if you are goin

Re: Stus-List Coupler removal to install Dripless Shaft Seal

John, Done this twice, and it’s getting done now, the first time, used a socket aligned with the prop shaft and bought some Grade8 bolts long enough to go then the coupling halves, and kept evenly tightening them to press the shaft out ... every time the set screw hole got to the top we added p

Re: Stus-List Rod Rigging inspection

I replaced the Navtec rod heads on Honey's rigging twice in the first 35 years of owning her, finally had enough due to price & the PITA factor of having to ship the rigging back to Navtec and wait for it's return. So I had UK Sailmakers in Charleston, SC replace all of her standing rigging with Na

Stus-List Coupler removal to install Dripless Shaft Seal

All I’m trying to install a a PSS shaft seal on my 1983 Landfall 38. got reasonable access to V-Drive transmission , got everything ready , but could not for the life of me remove shaft coupler , its really stuck on shaft , and of course I need to be able to remove the shaft partially from boat

Re: Stus-List Rod Rigging inspection

I'm no expert but a Navtec rep told me the rod lasts forever. It's the end fittings that can develop cracks and need inspecting. The rod can be reheaded. This process causes a loss of one inch of length, but longer turnbuckles can be purchased or adding a toggle can counter that length reduct

If the exterior frames are in good condition (no kinks, minimal corrosion), it’s definitely worth doing. Pull out the grey gasket and the lens just comes out. Drill out the rivets, undo the bolts, remove the frames and clean them up. You can throw out the interior rings if you decide to fill the
