a few years ago the yard hauled my Viking 33 and had the strap on the
prop shaft. They broke the strut and bent the brand new shaft.
we had to pin the strut back together and have a new one molded at a
local foundry. that was $550. the yard took care of all the repairs
due to the haul out accident.
the shaft I had bought and replaced the year prior was about $500. I
rebuilt the stuffing box, new hose, high end clamps, packing, and
replaced the cutlass bearing at the same time as the shaft replacement.
I did all the work myself and probably spent around $750ish which
included the machine shop truing the prop on the shaft.
It's a bear of a job but really only because the access was really tight
and some of the wrenching can be very hard. Nothing really all that
complex. Mostly just parts replacing, providing that tube is fine.
Given the fact that you will be removing the strut, removing the cutlass
should be simple bench work (hopefully that isn't bent). Aligning
everything back up again is where you need to be careful.

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

Hey,
Recently wrapped a line around my prop/shaft and found some damage and
a loose prop strut when the boat was hauled.
Has anyone done this repair and have any advice.
Thx
