Hey guys,
I picked up a new upgrade Flex Shaft and new stock strut assembly for my PB Blackjack 29 Ver2. I assembled everything and after tightening the coupler and leaving a 1/8" gap at the drive dog and strut there is resistance and noise coming from the strut / prop shaft. I have never replaced these on this boat and wanted to check with you guys if this is normal or if the bushings need to break in around the prop shaft??
I have double checked everything and everything else looks good/straight. It is for sure the prop shaft and front bushing in the new strut causing binding, please help me out here guys.
Thanks!!
