Make sure to check on it.
My was installed way pass the cut in the shaft for the screw to lock in... If I would run it this way it would slip arround the shaft or who knows...?
Also I could not loosen it up the screw on my motor to flex coupler so had to drill it out. WD40 did not help... Replacing it with Octura...

next time your coupler set screw wont come out just use a soldering iron to heat it up, then it will come right out with ease. it has something to do with the thread-lock they use....

+1 on the soldering iron. No need to drill. Just apply heat and it will break loose.

Along with good Allen wrenches i find it best to replace the Allen bolts themselves to a good quality make, Most of these bolts on these boats are cheap fairly poor quality Allen bolts where even a good quality wrench still isnt the best fit because of the poor tolerences their are in the hexagon in the head. You only have to look at the prices between these cheap bolts & good Quality ones, You get what you pay for. Thanks Martin.
