Consider replacing with a SS shaft.

Not that easy but many have replaced the shaft without doing either.  I
believe it has to do with turning the rudder hard left.  I know my yard got
the shaft in without removing the rudder but not without complaining....

Usually, to pull the shaft the rudder is also dropped. But moving the engine
may work.

Has anyone replaced their shaft?  I hit something last year and the shaft is
bent about 1/4" just after the strut.  It looks to me like the engine will
have to be moved in order to pull the shaft out (or put the new one in).  Is
that the case?
