Have a bent prop shaft on my c-30 1979 model and would like to replace it in the water. Anyone have experience in this area that could offer advise? Also, Catalina no longer sells the shaft. Does anyone know of a supplier?

Haul It

I just replaced my prop shaft this spring as part of a repower. You will absolutely need to haul your boat to replace the shaft. No way around it.

I have heard of it being done, but I wouldn't.

With my luck, something would glitch and I would sink the boat. Why not have it hauled and refurb the entire drive train, i.e. new cutlass bearing, replace the shaft boot, and repack the stuffing box. Then you should be trouble free for years to come.

Shaft

Contact Eastern Yacht Sales in Mewport, RI. They found a prop shaft for me 3 months ago.
