Good to know. I was not finding anything recent on PS.Oops, I think I lied! I think it was Boat US - reading both last night, might have that confused.
Too bad, they usually have good write-ups.

I won't hurt if you use the BLUE thread lock. That is easy breakout later.if I should use some threadlock on the coupling bolts
Thanks Jim! Yeah, definitely not the red stuff. I've been reading and watching the installation instructions carefully on installing and adjusting the PSS. Not hard, but must be done. I'd hate to sink my own boatI won't hurt if you use the BLUE thread lock. That is easy breakout later.
I think Shaft/Engine alignment is the key to longevity.
Jim...
PS: The recommended Bellow compression is the sealing force.
Thanks NY! I have a ground strap too.The orange thing on your coupling is a shaft saver..... if you tangle or hit anything it will break before the engine. Should have a grounding strap across it to protect from electrolysis as it isolates the shaft from the engine.
I can understand the logic of that. The washer would be pushing against the flax which is seated inside the large nut. If the nut is plastic material they may need the washer to provide even pressure against the flax.It also has a metal washer that sits in the aft end of the box.
