Recently my CS36T was struck by lightning and since I have had a lot of issues. Besides all electronics dying my prop strut now has a crack in it and when I put it in gear it vibrates like crazy. Could it be related or coincidence? Anyone know how to repair a prop strut or how they are constructed?

It is a Y mounted strut. Holland Marine Products in Canada should be able to get you a new 36T strut..

Do you think it could be lightning related? it was seemed normal before. In fact since things seem to be falling apart. The hydraulic back stay also died right after and it was fine the week before...

With lightning anything is possible...

Are you interested in coming to Singapore to fix all the electronics? I think the cost of a ticket won't add a lot to what it is going to cost to fix everything.
