BT, thanks for ordering the parts from us. We do apreciate the bussiness.

Sounds like your shaft is OK, but if you have access to a lathe you can spin it and put a nice polish on it with 280 or 320 grit.

mbam... didn't realize you were with BAM. I gotta be reaching preffered customer status with all the parts I been ordering! You can send the thread chaser along with my order... that would be sweet!! Just a thought. I will chuck my shaft up and polish as you suggested. Thanks for the advise.

Sure, I can do that. Call myself or Heather tommorrow, we will figure out the best way to ship it back. It will only take 2 minutes to run it through the threads.

Not really, but you do have to set the preload on the prop shaft. If you give me a call (954 321 0606) I can walk you through it, but I am such a lousy typist it would take me all day to post it here. I will try and put an explanation on my go-fast.com site in the next couple of days.
