Looking for a vertical a shaft
 
The boat is almost finished all I need is a shaft. I am looking for a vertical shaft for a two in. shorty IMCO lower that I am mating to a B-Max upper. Anyone have good one at a decent price lying around?

I have an extra Imco -2 vertical shaft with the 2 bearings pressed on. It has only a few hours of test time on it. $250 takes it.

Thanks Vinny, but unfortunately after talking with the Bravo Shop the Imco shaft isn’t going to work in this application.

Still looking for the B-Max lower vertical shaft for a 2 in. shorty.

The Bravo shop should have some?
I have one that is a bit "used".

On the IMCO lower, what if anything do/did you have to modify to get them to bolt up? Did you have to plug the oil hole or machine anything to fit?

Deltarat 06-27-2008 10:03 AM

I was told and by what I see all I need to do is change the shaft and it will bolt right up. What I have noticed is that my B-Max upper has no pervision for my drive temp sender and the shift cable will need a coupler adapter ($12.00). Once I find a shaft I will have more information but it looks really straight forward.

Does Dean have any used -2's?

I spent most of the winter waiting for -2's and wound up staying with my standard lowers... :(

Back4More 06-30-2008 04:59 PM

Yeah, I waited a few months for some new ones that never happened, but he found some used ones for half price....so I took those.
I have 2 of the old style that I swapped out. They have a larger under cut at the sleeve shoulder. Some have broken there but with only 800HP mine lived.

Just out of curiosity , where did you find the used shafts? I have been looking and had no luck at all so far. I wonder if I would have better luck looking for a shaft that was standard lenght.

Back4More 06-30-2008 11:07 PM

Dean at The Bravo Shop set me the used -2's... Last we talked he has new std length ones in stock.
How much power you pushing thought it?

Deltarat 07-01-2008 11:26 AM

It should be right around 850hp but I have not run the new motor yet so I am just guessing at this point.

Back4More 07-06-2008 07:19 AM

Did you call Dean for a used shaft?
