Farymann Diesel A30M Replacement Flexible Coupler

[T27Sailor]

I have a Tartan 27 with an old Farymann A30M Engine. I managed to get a line wrapped around the prop and consequently, the flexible coupler broke that connects the shaft to the engine. I've called Farymann and they said the part is on back order. Does anyone know if there are other replacement options or has anyone had one made? I've included a picture of the piece.

there's really no reason to find the original type since there are so many others out there. The real problem will be removing the old. this link is the search page I used there are MANY types. AVG search | Results page

Although that thing is kind of deep or thick, whatever you want to call it--looks like 3 inches or more. Drivesavers and the like are thinner, I think.

Can't give you an answer but can give you a couple of links to try

The A30M was one of the standard engines installed on the co26.
If you post your question there you may be lucky in that every once in a while someone posts about re-powering and may have spare parts left over that suit your needs

I know this is an old thread- but I came across it in my search:

Here is the solution we came up with. Now that the coupler is over $800.00 and was not in stock and wasn't looking like it was going to be in stock anytime soon.

Around photo 12 through 15 is the set of the replacement.

I did find Sid at Farymann North America helpful. His email is SWatson@farymann.com.

We ended up getting Federal Coupling #441 from H & H prop. We added an aluminum spacer. Waiting for a test run this spring.
