Something I have been wondering since I got the boat, but have never asked before:
What size prop shaft have most people got on their E35 for an A4? Mine is 3/4", but when I replaced the stuffing box, the only size available in the chandlary that fit the boat was intended for a larger shaft, and I had to improvise with the size of flax packing.
Is there any history of 32 year old 3/4" shafts breaking without warning? I am trying to reduce the number of things that could go wrong when I am half way between Greenland and Iceland.
