Re: Prop Shaft

You've got a bent shaft or bad bearings. The shaft should not wobble.

Re: Prop Shaft

Are you sure its the shaft and not the prop? It would have to be removed to be fixed.

Re: Prop Shaft

With an OEM manual, it's much easier and you're not flying blind. You'll need some tools too. Get the manual and with help from the forum, you'll get her done!

Re: Prop Shaft

How big a motor and how bad a wobble? It might shake the motor apart after awhile. Imagine a wobbly wheel on a car.

Re: Prop Shaft

The prop can be rebuilt and possibly save yourself a lot of money in the long run.
