Cool prop shaft

Our prop shop only uses stainless----unless they are cutting down a used shaft. 316ss is fine----304 or 305ss (the stuff that bleeds) might be out there. There are more expensive shaft mat'ls avail...

Cool Riser

The photo looks very much like the "optional" riser for a Yanmar 4 cly (4JH series). A similar, but smaller and "sleeker" design, is used on Yanmar 1GM, 2GM, and 3GM engines. (While you have it...
