Is it possible to use a hand die to cut new threads into a stainless shaft of about 1/2" in diameter? The threads on my bow thruster's shaft are starting to go away because the little zincs*are not that effective. They don't last long, are hard to change and*cause my monthly diver to lie to me about their status.
The plastic props slide onto*the bare part of the shaft*which has a*keyway. The threaded part is for the nut to hold the prop back on the keyway. I would think that a 1/2" of threads would be enough*for the nut to bite.
