2006 Avalanche Prop Shaft
kiddhardware posted a topic in Centurion Boat Maintenance, Performance, Troubleshooting
I have a 2006 Centurion Avalanche with a Scorpion 330. A few weeks ago I hit an underwater rock going between 11 and 13 MPH and that took off about half of two blades of my Acme 1579. The rock formation wasn't solid so my prop most likely broke apart after being hit. I replaced the prop and I'm getting vibration going above 5 MPH and the vibration is not coming from the steering wheel. I called a few shops, with fingers crossed, hoping I could get in before Labor Day Weekend. A few didn't want to do the job because of how hard it is to get to the prop shaft. One guy even told me that my strut was probably bent too. I inspected my strut and I don't see and dings or nicks that indicate it hit something. I also inspected the shaft coming out of the boat and it has shifted to the right side of the hole. Dial indicator show shaft at .005 off. Not sure if it was mounted very well so I'll re do it with the prop off. Also, looking and the shaft seals, both side of the seals are pressed to the right side. 1. Can I loosen the motor mounts and see if I can nudge the prop shaft closer to center of the exit point on the hull? I've had by boat in the shop twice for preventive work. One was for replacing Cutless bearings and the other was for the shaft seal all within the last 100 hours. I have a walk through transom so I only have access to one side of the motor and I cannot see the drive shaft or the nuts to the strut. I've seen a lot of posts on Centurioncrew about removing the drive shaft but I haven't seen much on how to get to it. 1. Could I unscrew the motor mounts and use a hoist to lift the engine 6 or more inches? Would that be easier than moving the v-drive? Thanks, Shane -
Hey guys, I have a 2000 centurion eclipse v drive with the Walter v drive. I have to replace the bushings on my strut and am curious, can I remove the v drive and remove the prop shaft through the inside of the boat instead of going through the pain of removing the coupler and reinstalling the coupler. It appears if I remove the v drive I should have plenty of room to clear the shaft inside

Pulled my prop shaft for bushing replacement in the strut. Can't tell if strut is bent or if it's an offset strut, can ANYBODY help me figure this out or help me with where to look to find out? Thanks - C
