I would go with a 1/4 inch stuffing tube with no liner and a 3/16 (.187) flex. I to changed mine out to run a .150 flex and no I have 2 props at the bottom of the lake. Go with the 3/16 and forget about have fun.

With the 4082 don't go with anything less the. .187 flex or .072 piano wire shaft .

I still go with a .187, 3/16ths. I have a .72 piano wire and prop at the bottom of the pond. Twisted the wire off at the collect.

Yes and I also have a .187 flex and prop at the bottom of the lake . It can happen . When you run a piano wire setup don't run Teflon liners and gentile bends . Otherwise you will build up excessive heat and something will break . I don't run teflon liners , Just use a 1/4 in. brass tubing for your .187 flex shaft , and grease it up good .

I need help here too, I have drives that re to be used with 1/4" drive cable. I plan on using hughey 1/4 but I don't know if I should just use tube/no liner, or tube/Teflon. Also I want to use thrust bearings . Last thing how much gap should be placed between the bearings or drive dog and stinger end? Please help
