[Public-list] Prop nut clearance

[Mike Lehman]

Richard,

If Quest has a 2-blade prop, you should be able to push the shaft out all 
the way with the rudder hard over. Put a pair of vise grips on the shaft so 
you don't go too far.

I am planning to replace the Hurth transmission on Quest and am
considering doing it myself with the boat in the water.  One of the major
considerations however is how much room I have to slide the shaft aft with
the prop and zinc still attached.  I probably need to create several
inches of clearance at the coupling in order to pull the transmission
spline out of the engine.  With the rudder at centerline I probably only
have about an inch of clearance.  Can anybody recall or even look at the
rudder setup and tell me how much additional clearance I can create aft of
the prop nut with the rudder hard over.  Any help would be much
appreciated.
