Prop and shaft for BetaMarine 13.5 hp engine

[catherinenoonan]

I took out the old MD6A and have got the replacement BetaMarine 13/5 HP in the engine compartment but I could use some advice at this point.

The old shaft doesn't fit the new engine (It's a 1" shaft for the BetaMarine) so I'm having a new one made and also replacing the propeller. Any advice on the propeller?
Am I correct that the prop turns clockwise in forward gear?

It looks like I need a new cutlass (stern) bearing. Ideas?

If anyone has pictures of installing a BetaMarine in the Vega, I'd appreciate seeing them.

Hi

You need a 25mm shaft and prop for the Beta BZ482 when used with the Vega. This will then correspond to the sterngland and stern bearing as well.

The prop needs to be Right Hand 3 Blade 12 x 9

I have the cutlass bearings (Stern Bearings) in stock.

I have persoanlly installed over 10 Beta BZ482 into vegas. Drop me a line off group (steve@...) and I will send you the install notes and photos corresponding to your Vega. Need your Vega number and original engine type that was fitted.

I sell teh Beta to vega owners worldwide that include all correct fittings (Shafts, props, bearings etc). Now sold over 130 !!!!
