Earlier I asked how to remove a prop shaft on my ODAY 39 without removing the rudder or the engine. Here is the answer for anyone interested. 1) Remove the bellhousing, transmission, spring plate(bolted to the flywheel), shaft coupling, packing gland and prop. 2) Push the shaft up towards the engine, with a little help the coupling end will go into the hole that the spring plate covered. 3) The shaft will then come out of the cutlass (on the engine side of the cutlass) 4) Now pull the shaft out of the stern tube taking it below the cutlass strut. I did this yesterday, I am assuming replacement is the reverse of this! I'l let you know. Hope this might help someone.
