Hi all, recently I converted my packed shaft system to a dripless system. My engine room is now bone dry. However during the conversion, some shaft dampening couplers were removed and my shafts got 'shorter'. In order to accommodate the shorter length exiting the vessel, the , the line cutters were removed from the shafts. It was a pretty simple fix, but now I am concerned about not having shaft cutters on 2 exposed shafts. I'm considering having new shafts made and of course, the next question is 'how much?" I'm guessing the shafts are about 15 or 20 ft long and are 1.75" in diameter.
Any knowledgeable insight would be appreciated.
