Hi,

Has anyone used these. They are advertised as being smooth running(i'm aware that alignment is the most important thing?

Thanks

Certainly look the biz for boats like tugs. I bet the bigger diameter ones are heavy though! Of course useful as ballast in models of that type. Reasonable price as well.

Thank Sammyk, are they heavy?

Hi Neil,compared to standard shafts, they are a bit heavy .but in a tug boat that is not a problem,cause you want reliability ,i put a mixture of thin oil an grease on mine and it runs for the sailing year then i remove it, clean it re grease and refit for the next year .hope this helps you .regards sammyk

Bought a couple of the heavy duty ones in the end and I'm not disappointed. Inners are very straight. Threads seemed a bit tight but that was easy to fix. Nice bit of kit at a very good price.
