Cut the prop shaft in the boat. Take out a 2" long section. Take off
prop. When re-installing, use a sliding coupler to join the two
pieces. This assumes you even have enough room to do this cutting.


Woah! This is up there with some of the worst advice I've encountered on
this newsgroup.

Ya, I kinda cringed when I read it. Alignment questions aside, that would
have to be one strong coupler.

Why? Isn't that just a twenty five horse motor? This is a boat, not an
electrical generating station.
