Had a big problem while motor sailing when my port motor stringer collapsed, the surveyor never saw the rot, and the bolts sheared between my prop shaft flange and the transmission flange. We survived the ordeal but my problem, after buying a new prop shaft, motor mounts, cutlass bearing and rebuilding the stringer is that the prop shaft does not come thru the stern tube, and thus thru the stuffing box, in the exact, or even close to, the center. If I can avoid it I would like not to remove the strut. Any suggestions?
