Re: Prop Shaft Coupling Removal
I like the idea of no set screw. Nothing to displace the metal where the screw sets.

Re: Prop Shaft Coupling Removal
I can see from the parts diagram that there is in fact a nut on the end of the shaft that holds the coupling on. Looks like it won't be too hard to remove it.
Do you think its worth replacing the entire shaft seal with a new PSS seal kit or just replace the lip seal in the current Tides unit?

Re: Prop Shaft Coupling Removal
Thanks, from the part description it looks like I will need a thin walled 1-1/2 socket. I’ll get some longer bolts and put something between the coupler and the flange, as you suggested. How about getting the coupler back onto the shaft? I imagine it’s a tight fit.
Thanks,
Simon

Re: Prop Shaft Coupling Removal
I would just replace the the lip seals in your current ones. They are good units. The PSS units in the pic are a different type of dripless logs that work on a different principal; face seal. There are pros and cons to both designs. If you stick with the Tides, buy yourself two sets of seals per side and the housings for the spare seals for mounting on the shafts. The spare seal assembly will bolt to the shaft between the log and the coupler. This will allow you to replace the seals without removing the shafts next time. Make sure they send you an install sleeve and use it when installing the seals so they're protected when you slide them on to the shaft.
