I became the second owner in 2001 of a 10 meter express owned by the original owner for 18 years. (says something about the boat)

He purchased new props and a spare shaft which were always kept onboard, but the need never happened.

Too bad, the shafts were left in the yard where we did the install, as I had no need or place to store them. The 3 blade and 4 blade props are still available however for the 1.25" factory shafts.

I do keep a spare shaft and pair of props but only stow them on board when traveling away from the local waters as the new ones are extremely heavy as compared to the gassers.

The spare shaft onboard is a great idea and can easily ride crossways in the lazarette, on top of the stringers. A couple of hose bracing clamps screwed to the stringers keeps them secure.
