I failed to mention access to the stuffing box to adjust the packing, for instance, is very difficult if not impossible (for me) with the engine in place.

I love mine! It has been not leaking for over 35 years
* well actually I am on #2, about 8 years ago I got a new shaft and replaced it while everything was apart.

Whenever we ordered a shaft and coupling that was not a split coupling we had the prop shop fit the shaft and coupling for us, they made sure it wasn't too loose or too tight. The split couplings are so much easier to get on and off we always tried and use them.
