Does anyone know if the wheel shaft on a 2000 Hunter 410 is straight or tapered?

2001 - mine is straight

BTW - a hose clamp on the shaft behind the wheel does a much better job of being a stop than the stupid thing ring comes on the boat, and you can acturally tighten the nut down.

Good idea with the clamp.
I had 2 set screws machined on the wheel, stops the tiny play which always loosened the wheel nut.
