thanks, i heated the bronze strut, ever so gently-then used a pipe wrench to center the shaft coming out of the hull.

a dockline tangled in the prop-diver removed it. hauled the boat for a new paint job. found the strut bent--heated it up with a torch{temporary fix for now}. 1973 35' model. why is the bronze strut offcenter? none of the other boats in the yard are like this.

my e35 clogged up at catalina. 1973 model-design flaw. a pipe 90 directly on the thru hull fitting-then the valve next. fixed it in the water. put a tee with a plug for the first fitting-"a rod out connection". better be good with tools-have everything just right. a lot of water blows in.
