OPINION on broken shaft

[srislash]

Bearings are three runs old , prop was a Andy Brown.
I might just put in oil-immersed sintered bronze bushings front and rear less headaches , expecialy in salt water...

End of season last year I stuck bushings in on the back of my HPR. I was having a hard time keeping bearings glued in for whatever reason. Plus... they aren’t $15 a pop every month and half.

I think I did the same thing on my 10s mono, 1/4” shaft stepped for 3/16” props, I had a 3/16” drive dog and that’s where it snapped. I’ve gone to a 1/4” dog now.

The ones that I ordered have graphite dots in it to lube the shaft .s-l400.jpg

Way to go for now.
Going to centre drill on the lathe and press the prop shaft in that way it has no week point.....20190212_145641.jpg
