My boat was fitted with a Lister Petter Mini 7 engine by Hawker Siddeley Marine Ltd in 1983. The drive shaft is connected via a universal coupling that's mounted on a bulkhead just aft of the engine. It's a good arrangement that enables the engine to the mounted horizontally. The drive thrust is taken on the bulkhead and engine vibrations / misalignment are isolated from the shaft.
While going astern recently the prop drew the shaft almost completely out of the coupling.
Does anyone know anything about this type of universal coupling? Are they still available? Is there something available that's close?
