BS and I both had to replace are shift rods, BS did his own and had no problems, I had mine done by the guy that sold me the motor and he had it done in one day, at the time it cost me $200 in parts and labore free.
I have heard storys that you can get done from $500 to over $1000 depending on what breaks when taking it apart. getting that power head off is thge hardest part! Good Luck!

That shiftshaft web site looks promising!. I have done a couple and if you just want to get back on the watter then that looks llike the ticket. If you decide to take the powerhead off you will spend more than $200 in gaskets alone!

Here's another thought:
303 stainless steel is not corrosion resistant. 303 has a magnetic pull to it. Magnet won't hold to steel but you can feel it pull to it. That means it will corrode. I use to be a structural inspector on submarines and I've seen 1" thick 303 stainless steel have 20% of it corroded away in less than 3 years. That was Saltwater but still if I was going to go thru all that work I would get the piece made out 500 series stainless. Just my 2 cents worth.

Quote: How many threaded holes were done with Helicoils out of the box? Lore in my biz says that everything was helicoiled. Up until 5 years ago NOTHING was helicoiled on a sub. Every hole that was damaged was welded up redrilled and threaded. The last 15years I was there I was promoted to the engineering division and wrote paperwork to accomplish new installations or repairs. The last 5 yrs ago Navsea has allowed helicoils to be used but only on non subsafe components and only on certain items. It is still preferable if you have time to weld,drill& rethread you do that in lieu of helicoils.
