Very nice machining and fitting! This is a big part of the sport, and where you really make a connection to your boat. Please keep posting your upgrades!
Make sure that the Aeromarine coupling releases on the flex when you undo the coupling, these type of couplings with the separate brass piece can tend to be a bit of a pig either getting the brass collet to release from both the coupling taper & the flex.
A lot of the Chinese couplings of this design can be a problem getting the brass collet to release from the flex even after getting them to release from the taper, you can also use some anti seize paste on the outer taper & thread parts to get the coupling nice & tight without putting to much pressure on the wrenches, this stops galling of the stainless. only put this on the outer tapers & threads & not on the flex, a number on the forum use anti seize on their coupling threads to good effect.
