[C320-list] Propeller Shaft

[rnitkin at aol.com]

I recently purchased a new Max Prop feathering propeller to replace the
original 2-blade fixed on my 1997 C-320.

Now my mechanic says it's too heavy for the original bronze prop shaft,
which could snap under the weight and strain and dump my new prop into Davy
Jones's Locker.

He suggests I replace the shaft with a new Stainless Steel one.

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with this ?
