welp - I are now an O-Fish-uhl inbort mec a nic...
Replaced stuffing box seals, rudder repacked - strut shaft bushings and the keyway on the driveshaft to coupler ( didn't know it was sheared til I got it apart) -
Skidim was awesome with the parts and the hand holding as were a few folks on here too ( Okie Surfer). Ran her out on Saturday - runs like a sewing machine!
Went with the "plastic" Vitronex? shaft bushings - I like em alot alot...plus I was able to fix a few more things that needed attention and I think I have a 400hr boat that is as good as new - minus one issue - the pass thru windshield went under the drivers side frame went I hit a big roller...I am not a big enuf boy to flex it back and undo it - will have to take it apart tonight to fix I guess...
