I just purchased the OSE modified flexshaft and strut for my BJ 24. I have gotten the strut installed and the shaft goes fine into my tubing.

However I cannot seem to get the flex. shaft to find into the stock BJ 24 coupler. It seems to say online that it should fit.

Questions:

1. Should I try to file down the end of the flex shaft so it. will fit into coupler?

2. Is. there another method?

3. Does coupler just not fit? If so what do I need? I do not understand all the measurement. info and what size my boat. has stock etc. I am using the stock coupler for the BJ 24. and have a leopard. motor. I bought. from OSE that fits the stock coupler.

Any advice appreciated. I just do not want to break something.
