Well, you just do how-to videos. That’s what you do. So, I am anticipating you will do one on this, and looking forward to this!
You are kind of filling Wally’s shoes on the documentation side. I just watched the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=6xx8qz1Fgk0&feature=emb_logo> &v=6xx8qz1Fgk0&feature=emb_logo and they had tons of space on that. If I am understanding you right, couldn’t you just poke the bolts through from the back to the tranny, so you don’t have the length of the bolts to contend with?

I'm in the process of replacing/rebuilding the drive train on my C&C 37+. In the process I'm replacing the shaft, shaft coupling, shaft seal and strut bearing. The old seal was a PSS seal and the old coupling was a standard solid coupling. I had had a R&D Marine (PYI) coupling dampener and planned to reuse. The new seal is a Last Drop II from Sailor Sam's. The new coupling is a split coupling from R&D Marine. The new seal and coupling have added length which ultimately leaves only about 1.5 inches of free shaft at most. So here comes the question. First: Any concerns with only having 1.5 inches of free shaft? I have 3. - getting the coupling dampener installed requires the couplings to be separated by not just the thickness of the dampener buy rather by the thickness of the coupling bolts. - getting the split coupling on could be complicated - with the shaft seal bottomed out on the log there is less articulation available in the seal tube. The seal uses a delrin bearing to center itself on the shaft but without room to flex the bearing will just ride harder on the shaft and can even overheat. Second: The seal engages with the shaft log by at least 4 inches. If I cut the log shorter, then I could push the seal deeper onto the log and get a bit more free shaft and room for the seal to articulate. Can any of you see any drawbacks or pitfalls to cutting the log short?
