propshaft

Hello Vega sailors,

Recently I have become the proud owner of the V2151, her name
is "Babs".
I have posted some photo's as well.

I have been worrying about the following:
Although the propshaft and the propellor can be turned around freely
with the decompression lever up, there is definitely a 3-4 mm
misalingment. I am afraid that or the control tube or even the
propellorshaft is not straight anymore.
This might damage the inner tube and who knows what else.

Does anybody have any experience with finding the problem and how to
cure this?Best regards,
Rob

Hi Rob

3mm to 4mm is too much movement. I expect the stern bearing has worn. It is
best to change it and renovate the Combi at the same time. Parts are easily
available and full instructions with diagrams.

Kind Regards
