Stanley, Get the shaft inspected -- it might be fine. A prop manufacturer checked mine for true for free, said it was fine, and then gave me tips on mounting the prop. Check also for scoring at the cutless and stuffing box packing.
I soaked our old stuffing box in vinegar, which cleaned it up like new, after some scraping and emery cloth.
The connecting hose shouldn't cost $65. Important to use the right kind of hose (discussed in prior threads).
