Hi Shawn,
I had about 4" over hang between the cutlass bearing and the prop hub
on the 35-1. It was necessary to move the prop aft and get hull
clearance when repowering and going to a larger prop. No sense in
putting in a large engine if you can't put that horsepower into the
water effectively.
I was able to do it because I went from a 7/8" shaft to a 1 1/8" diameter.
Cheers, Russ

I just noticed what appears to be a fairly long extension of the
prop shaft beyond the support on the 35-2 pictured here:

It looks like there is at least 12" of shaft beyond the support
before the prop, and bit less between the hull and the support. I
recall reading a survey on a boat I was considering where the
surveyor commented on excessive prop shaft extension as a possible
cause of vibration. As this boat has a VW diesel (not sure of the
transmission), I am wondered if the shaft might be too long.
How does this compare with other 35s?
