"Hello fellow boaters and hope
"Hello fellow boaters and hope everyone is about ready for a fun season.
My boat is a 91 CARVER 33 AFT CABIN with 454 Crusaders.Had it now 2 years and as I was told by others and including is the survey of the boat stating I have 1.5" shafts.My friend with a similar size TROJAN told me he had 1.25" shafts.When I left to come home last night I used a dial caliper to measure and we both measured in at 1.375(1 3/8")...My props measure 1 3/8" at big end, lets say, and 1 1/8" at small.Over the winter I picked up at a set of props in great shape, really cheap,thinking I had 1.5", but actually are 1.5 tapering down to 1.25......Am sure they will go on till they get tight,maybe a bit forward and will have to see about possibly a washer at the nut end.Can always sell these props if they are not a good idea.No biggy.
Paperwork for the boat is inside it over an hour away and thought I would run this by my boating friends here so I can learn, and know just what I actually have...In my mind I have 1.5" shafts....Todd Moore"
