Thanks for commenting.. after this mornings sail I say I'm happy the old smit is again watertight so it's just a matter of repainting bottom of hull.. A frames held everything nice and tight.. and here's a pic of the original remaining Skeg if that's the right term for it

Glad you added two A frames. They are so important especially with the stress the Kort nozzles will exert when turning. Nice home built ones as well. Regards Bill. ▲

Ah, two propshafts, and with kort nozzles plus dirigible rudders. Blimey, this thing will turn on a sixpence !
Glad to see you added the A frames though. With that amount of unsupported prop shaft they are essential. ๐ ▲

Stephen.
A wedge is by far the simplest way. If using wood ensure you waterproof well once fitted. An A frame is easy to make,but depends if you have the kit to make it.I make my own. For yours (as it is a closed shaft and tube) I suggest a length of brass strip or similar bent over the tube and soft soldered or glued in place with the ends being inset in the hull and glued. If you havnt got any brass strip and want to use that plan I am happy to post you a length if you PM me your address.You will only need a short length.(See pics of examples including brass strip). Regards Bill. ▲

I'm glad to see you persevered with restoration of this boat, and yes, I would support the prop tube with a wedge or web glued between the hull ( keel ) and the tube ๐

Hi Stephen.
Looking at the photographs I would definitely recommend either an A frame close to the end of the shaft or a wedge between shaft and hull.This will help prevent any whip or vibration. Bill ▲

In a few years time you might think about this project with an entirely different perspective.๐

That's a shame as I was looking forward to seeing how you progressed.
