Mine was short enough that it cleared the rudder.
I just measured my old shaft and it came in just under 58 inches. Remember too
that once the shaft is clear of the log that it can be articulated in the strut
bearring if needed. A few degrees makes a huge difference at the tip of the
shaft.
Maybe. I don't know.

Thanks for the backup Joe but after seeing a more detailed description it
sounds like the cable did not previously have a service disconnect to allow for
removal of the mast from the boat. As described earlier by myself and followed

In my experience, Bill nailed the problem and solution. A polished crew will
make the evolution look a whole lot cleaner and faster but much like raising
the main with no reef, the boom has to be allowed to rise up to match the line

You should also try to rev the engine with it out of gear. If it has the same
problem of reaching full RPM then fuel and air delivery are nearly to only
possible culprits.

I've had all manner of rubberized electronics do this. I have had pretty good
luck using Naphtha thinner to clean up the goo. It leaves a raw plastic finish

Yes technically you're losing capacity but when you figure that with a standard
lead acid is best to avoid discharge below 50% to prevent damage - the lithium
actually gives you more USABLE capacity. Of course you have the lighter weight
and higher charge rate of the lithium as additional advan

There aren't too many options. Measure the height of the pedestal, the length
to the quadrant, and half the circumference of the quadrant, add them together
and you should be close enough to eliminate all the other options. Its

error. The two things I distinctly recall him complaining a
