There's a thread in another section of the forum wondering how to adapt a 1" prop shaft to accept a prop designed for a 1 1/4" shaft. Here's a summary: -- I have a 76 with twin 360's. The proper size prop is 14/11 cupped. I bought two spares, but learned that they were for 1 1/4 in shafts where i think mine are 1 inch. Is there something I can put on the shaft so these will work, or am i out of luck. Mike on Ohio -- you can buy a nylon spacer to fix that since your shafts are 1 inch. Fastjeff -- you can. I am running one on my boat.don't forget the special step key. They make them in brass to ,but i was told the nylon work better.so that's what I have and its working good. Tim-- They sell them at www.henrysmith.com When at their home page in upper left side click on Products & Services then scroll down to Reducer Bushing. NormJoel Albert, Potomac MD

I used a brass sleeve on the 1" shaft on my 28' single. It wasn't a good fit and the prop twisted off. I got a nylon sleeve and it works fine. I got several 1 1/4" props very inexpensively on EBAY. The 1" bore props are very rare nowadays.

Proper adapters are available from " deep blue yacht " have bought stainless shafting from them and I saw these on thier site a few days ago. I am needing adapters to go from 1 3/8 shaft up to 1 1/2" bores to find some readily available spare props. the 1 3/8" er's are about extinxt on the used market. 466 Bertram FDMY, " Easy Rider "
