#6's and speedi-sleeve
We have 3 sets of #6 drives (2 dry sump) that might need shafts; there's nothing wrong with the shafts except wear at the seal surface.
Instead of replacing #6 prop shafts because of wear at the seal area has anyone used the speedi-sleeves from SKF? http://evolution.skf.com/zino.aspx?articleID=15297 If that won't work what are some options? Thanks |
I know that Craig Colabella has used them on our outboard gearcase quite often.
|
Thanks Ryan: I believe that's a good example.
I seem to recall that's what Craig told me when he dry sumped the 6's. Do you have the current contact info for Craig? His web site is not active. |

Craig put them on both of my #6's two years ago when they were gone through. No issues and it beats the chit out of buying new shafts!! :)
$$$$ pricey shafts! |
Number 6 shafts dont seem to last especially in salt water.
A bunch of guys who do 6 work can install the sleeves. |

Thanks. I left a message for Craig

You can do a speedy sleeve or have the shafts ceramic coated.
|
Thanks: hadn't thought about ceramic.
Once again JT @ TNT came through and was a huge help with the speedi sleeves. Thanks Johnny! |
