Stus-List Stuffing Box and shaft saver couplings and vibration.

Good luck. My shaft was radially warped, so not fixable. Plus the strut was not oriented correctly to the shaft log, which is why I really had the vibration. Nothing that $5k wouldn't fix. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC > > ___ T
