[C320-list] stainless steel shaft

[belairlk at aim.com]

What is real advantage of Autoprop?   What do you get for 3 grand?  Have new C-320, and I'm curious.

I have done the same and although it is not necessary (I used the bronze on my 
AP for a season), I have switched to a SS shaft on all of my boats, so chose to 
do so after getting tangled up in some lobster pots a couple of seasons ago. 
They are just more durable and cost a couple of hundred bucks. I had a local 
Prop shop size mine. It is 1", but you should measure your existing shaft for 
proper length. You also want to leave 1.5" of clearance between the prop and 
strut...Great choice on the prop though!

Regards,
