Hi everyone,
I'm in the process of adjusting the length on a flex shaft and have a few questions. 1) Should I be leaving a small space between nylon washer before the drive dog and the drive shaft? 2) On the shaft there is a small flat space for the drive dog set screw to fasten into, with the drive dog in that position and the prop on, there is to much room between the end of the prop and the prop nut. I can move it forward, lock the set screw on the unflattened portion of the shaft and cut flex shaft accordingly but I will be loosing 5mm permanently and I'm guessing the drive dog would not be as secure, any suggestions? I don't want to limit myself from being able to put other props that might be longer than a X440 or a M440 that I currently have, anyone know if that might become a issue? Also how much grease are you guys using on or in the shaft?
Thanks,
Ryan
