Re: Stus-List Fw: Strut

[Danny Haughey via CnC-List]

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.

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

Re: Stus-List Fw: Strut

[Della Barba, Joe via CnC-List]

I hit something that bent the prop and the shaft. My insurance covered what was 
about a $2,000 job. The yard checked the strut and as far as I know it was OK. 
I don't know if you have insurance or want to claim this, but it can add up in 
a hurry if the yard is doing it.
The PSS carbon shaft seal and cutless bearing were replaced while all this was 
apart.

Re: Stus-List Fw: Strut

[Frank via CnC-List]

Tom,

About 5 years ago I had to reposition my strut because the engine and prop 
shaft were not aligned.
Turns out that they were never in alignment.  I had to reposition the engine by 
making new engine mount brackets.  But that is another story.
I removed the strut and did all of the prep work.  The yard positioned and 
installed the strut.  I bedded it in the hull and finished the job.
It took about 4 days from start to finish.
The job is not difficult and I wish that I would have done the work I paid the 
yard to do.  I found all four bolts that hold the strut to the hull leaking 
water four years later.

Good luck,

Frank

Re: Stus-List Fw: Strut

[Jim Watts via CnC-List]

My strut was not in line with the shaft tube, and the shaft was radially
warped, so I had to drop it and realign it with a new shaft. I have photos.
Basically chipped the old bodge away with wood chisels. The strut was never
bedded in compound, it was clean gelcoat under the strut. We buttered the
mounting surface of the strut with thickened epoxy and hung it on the
mounting bolts in the right alignment with the shaft in place. Next day we
tightened the bolts and I faired in the strut.
It sounds so simple and easy now, but it took two weeks, getting the rudder
off and making new parts...argh.

Re: Stus-List Fw: Strut

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

I had a bent strut a few years ago.  Removed it, had machine shop
straighten it and re-installed it.  straightforward job on my 35-1.  Did
require removing the fuel tank for access to the fastener nuts.  Helps to
have a buddy but if it is similar to mine, I just clamped Vise-Grips on the
nuts and works from underneath.

Re-bedded it with 4M 4200 and faired the gap with AwlFair.
