[C320-list] Globe Drivesaver

[Jeff Church]

Karl,

Looking for any opportunity to eliminate noise and vibration, I spoke to the 
rep from PYI at Strictly Sail. He said that the distance between the strut 
and the prop hub should be no more than 1.5 times the shaft diameter. In our 
case that would be 1.5". He said that it is even more important to stay 
within spec if you have a bronze prop shaft rather than stainless. If you 
want to install the coupling, you might have to cut some length off of the 
inboard end of the shaft and have a new keyway slot machined into it.
