"Hey guys, I need to replace the hub that connects the prop shaft to the v-drive. This is a 85 model 4500 v-drive connected to a Crusader 270. I have unbolted the prop shaft hub from the v-drive and the prop shaft slipped back about 1 1/2 inches and stopped. I dont know the arrangement under the boat, but I dont think the prop is against the rudder, because it will still turn. However I dont want to force it to far back and damage something. The arrangement of the v-drive looked like it would roll back and leave room to slip off the prop shaft hub. I removed the drive shaft from the transmission and the rubber mounts on the v-drive wont let it roll out of the way. Any ideas besides removal of the v-drive? Thanks for the help."
