I fitted a 1GM10 in my boat and had a lot of problems with the engine moving from side to side.The mounts are very flexible and the engine is a real shaker.Since the boat had a Halyard deep sea seal (face seal , very efective) the movement made it leak a little.I eventually fitted a universal joint type flexible coupling with trhust bearing to keep the shaft centered and that solved it.

Try Teignbridge Propellors (www.teignbridge.co.uk). They can supply all you need. They made a new propshaft for me at the end of last year. They're friendly, efficient, and the prices are reasonable.

Cheers,

Jerry

Try Lake Engineering (Poole). www.lakesterngear.co.uk.
I found them good.

I\'d second that

Les Hill is a good engineer and won't try a rip you off.
