I have replaced 3 shafts on my boat in less than a year and have a brass prop. Im looking for the best shaft i can buy. This is getting rediculous..

Sounds like there is an underlying issue at hand. What has caused all these bent shafts?

Maybe you should get your engine aligned?

engine is aligned. Shafts go in and line up fine. My mechanic says i'm having bad luck , but i'm not sure if i'm buying that. I know i read somewhere else that their are different grades of shafts and some are better than other's. I have been on other peoples boat's when they have hit something seems too be just the prop.For me it's the prop the rudder, and the shaft. At this rate i'll be spending 6 grand a year on the driveline...

Thanks Alex . I'll try too remember that, but only one time was visible on top of water. . Seem too remember someone talking about different density of shafts.. Does anyone know of high end shafts. Well at least i didn't bend two different props in one daylike someone else i know. I know there are some of you out there that haven't bent anything for over 10 years..
