- 2004 34' Pilothouse Sedan
Hello all, I am looking for some direction on how to remove the coupling that connects the propeller shaft to the transmission. The boat is a 2004 Pilothouse Sedan with twin 240 horse power 4LHA-ST yanmars with ZF Hurth marine transmissions. I removed the 4 bolts and separated the shaft w/ coupling from the transmission, the removed the 2 allen head set screws so I could removed the nut that is attached to the rear end of the shaft inside the coupling. So my question is, what do I do next to get the couple off? Do I need some sort of prop type puller? The coupling seems to be on really tight. I don't want to bend anything. Any advice on this would be much appreciated. I need to get the coupling off so I can side a replacement Tides Dripless seal onto the shaft. Thanks
