During my refit this winter I pulled my prop shaft and found a
lot of corrosion back of the prop and wear at the stuffing box.
The original material appears to be bronze. My yard has
proposed making a new one from stainless steel. Does any one
know of a reason not to. How about the dis-similar materials
with having a bronze propeller. What are most shafts made
from. Thanks for all your help. I am sure there will be a lot
more issues as the refit is major and has only started
