Need 2 SD20 propshafts

Hello all,

The propshafts on my SD20's have had a hole drilled through the outer threads and when I removed the props when the boat was purchased 10 years ago the outer part of the shafts broke at the hole. This leaves very few threads to fix the prop cone.
I would be looking at replacing the propshafts Spring-18 when we go up on the hard for new antifouling and a possibility to get these buggers replaced.

I have spoken to Yanmar general inporters here in Scandinavia and the arrogance in getting an answer to why these holes are made, prevents me from ever having communication with these people.http://www.cruisersforum.com/images/...s/banghead.gif

So I would rather buy second hand shafts if I can.

So if anyone has SD20 that are broken, but has good propshafts I'm a keen buyer.

Thanks and happy lead free sailing from Lucky

These probably won’t fit but i have two reconditioned SD10 shafts that I am going to sell. Reconditioned in the sense that area where the seals contact the shafts have been restored to original dimensions with hard chrome.

I ended up replacing the drives entirely with an alternative brand so I no longer have any need for them.

Hi Ostinato,

Very interesting, I looked at the photo in the link, and it looks similar to the SD20 shafts, but I need to verify with someone who will know.
What is your price and could you ship to Sweden?

Are there anybody who knows if these are interchangable please let me know.

Thanks and happy lead free sailing from Lucky

No problem shipping to Sweden. I am in Spain now. I’ll send photos and get you a price.
