Hi Kent: Sorry to hear of your difficulties removing the outhaul shaft. Also interesting to see the different mounting methods used by Amel over the various SN boats. I don't have any specific

AHi again everyone, It looks like a private class isn’t going to happen. I’d recommend looking at either the Mack Boring 2-day marine diesel owner’s class or the Annapolis School of Seamanship
