Check out the info found here, I just replaced my MKI and the size was exactly as described here but measure your's to be sure. You should also add a signature to your profile with your Hull info.

Finally someone asked a question that I can competently answer!

52 inches tip to tail. It's right here beside my desk and I had a tape measure handy. I keep it here to remind me of the 'joys' of charter boat ownership.

I remember being in Desolation Sound and seeing a friend's boat come in. My wife says, "theres the Smiths"
Nope; just 9 'twenty-somethings' that rented their boat for the week.

I'll verify this as well. I just replaced mine last month, and it was 52".

Catalina Direct is asking for the "set" length...can anyone confirm that? It seems to be the lenght minus the threaded end. I'm a liveaboard and I dont want the boat on the hard for two weeks while I measure, order, ect

Thx

Bill, I can measure it for you, but please make sure what a "set length" is. Let me know, as I have the shaft here beside my desk.

I get 50 5/8 inches by their definition.

Going slightly off topic (apologies offered from the outset :)) I take, from reading these posts, that the shaft cannot be reversed. I was hoping I could switch ends and get some further life out of my shaft.

Can someone tell me if I can or cannot? Many thanks.

Robert,
Correct, you cannot reverse a prop shaft to get more use out of it. One end is "blunt", and the other is tapered and threaded.
