Stiletto Race Prep

[GP73]

I think Darin indirectly answered your question about the flex shaft, shortening the flex a bit won't hurt, leaving enough space between the coupler and the shaft is fundamental.

I've ran my Hyperformance stub shaft for a bit now, I haven't used any thread lock on the grub screws, but I'm using smaller grub screws that are flush with the drive dog.

The tubing goes between your prop and the nut to keep the nut in place and as added security for the prop.

I just got the Hyper Performance 3.5 Bullet Shaft Assembly and Hyper Performance flex. I made the flat spot on the motor shaft longer and rised the coupler a bit. Is this correct or should I shorten the flex a bit? (dont get why that would even work since the cable wont go any deeper in eighter end...cutting it would only make the square ends shorter and that cant help?) -or am I missing something here?

Also should the grub screws on the bullet assembly be loctited or not? -greasing the assembly is more difficult if loctited but wont the screws get loose if not glued?

Is the fuel tubing that comes with the assembly used between prop and nut for smaller props? -or why is that there?

Shortening the flex however wont do anything good. -on my outboard atleast.the problem is that the coupler is too long, if I would cut few mm of the coupler just above the grub screw it would allow more adjustment. If I would just cut the flex(I did try that) it would not help anything cause the flex still wont go any deeper in to the coupler.(it stops going any deeper right at the point the square end changes to round flex).

For now I just installed washers under the motor mounting screws to raise the motor a bit. After I get the coupler shortened I´ll remove the washers.

And Darin, the flex on my ob broke half way the square at the stubs end. Thinking the teflon is too small bore( The flex was not easy to rotate inside the teflon by hand ),and the coupler was too high so the shaft was not completely inside the stub.. After that I filed the teflon id a bit bigger so the flex rotated more freely and no more broken shafts. Now I have 7/32 brass tube glued in.
(needs glue cause I also opened up the holes where the flex exits into the prop-shaft and near the coupler and the brass tube could maybe get through these holes.)

The Horizon part number for the Stilletto flexshaft is PRB4033

http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=hpi-psa35

The new version of prop shaft assembly should come with screws that are flash with the prop dog. ( Steve has the picture of older original version with sticking out screws )
Both in stock! This parts are MUST HAVE if you have few bucks for hardware upgrade on stiletto.

Thanks very much. But I am after the after market fles shaft please?
