:confused:I have 2006 40hp e-tec and I have bent the prop shaft, also looks like the spline is twisted so I will need to buy a new one. I was thinking of replacing it myself......any thoughts ?

Re: 40 E-tec Bent Prop Shaft

you can buy a new one now, or even more parts later, if you run a bent shaft.

Well I know I need to by a new one there is no question....However any thoughts about taking this project on my-self?

Also the shafts I have priced out are around 450.00 is that about right.

Any thoughts would be great .

Thanks....

Re: 40 E-tec Bent Prop Shaft

Whether it is a do it yourself kind of depends on how it got bent, and what the likelihood is that there is more damage inside. Mechanically it's not that difficult.

The propeller shaft assy lists at $535
