I think you need about 1” (3 cm) between your old stuffing box and the coupler (if I remember correctly).
I posted a few pics from before and after. I had just enough room to put the retention collar in: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8tlcy5k0rwf4dzc/AAA7LXt-UzZJn3F5o7h4n2ENa?dl=0. For comparison, the shaft is 1”. As you can see form some of the pics, I put some paper towels around, right after installation. I recommend you do, too. For the first half hour, you might see a bit of carbon dust from the bearing as it runs itself in. A pain to clean up after. Btw. the clear plastic hose (fuel line) is not recommended as the vent line going through the engine bay. One more thing – the venting hose burps water! You have to run it high enough to have the end above the water line (and you might be surprised how high it is). But almost regardless how high and long your venting line is, it will eventually burp. this happens mainly, when you switch forward and reverse in quick succession (like when you dock). Two options I know of are: install a water bottle at the end of that line and empty it occasionally or plumb the line into some drain (e.g. sink) paying all kinds of attention not to create a situation that could sink your boat.

I'm not sure of the total lenght between the stern tube and the transmission and how long the PSS will "overlap" the stern tube? I will also replace shaft and coupling so i might be able to go with a shorter coupling if necessary but i would really like to be reassure on this before i pull the trigger. I would also like to add a SS collar sold by PYI to secure the shaft but it would probably not fit? right? Advices on the PSS project are also welcome.
