BtW has anyone noticed any difference in performance when they switched to SS?

Be careful with shaft length - I don't think they are all the same due to 
the different engine installations.

When I converted to SS I intentionally ordered it too long and had a local 
machine shop finish off the coupling end.

Cost more but worked the first time and I didn't hav to pay the boatyard for 
trying to install something the wasn't right.
