At the end of last season. I bent the prop and shaft on my boat. I was able to pull the prop with no issues and have had if repaired. I pulled the bolts from the collar that joins the shaft to the v-drive and was able to separate them about in inch. But now I cannot get the prop shaft to budge any farther. It acts like it is bound up in the strut. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the shaft pulled from the boat? Do I remove the whole strut or what? I am fairly mechanical and have been trying to do as much service to the boat myself. I have been in three or four area shops and no one seems interested in helping or even looking at it for me. Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
