I just wanted to report that I have just finished the first season with a new Tides Marine seal, purchased through Paul Dennis, along with a new shaft and coupling with excellent results; no leaks at all. The old Syntron was leaking badly. If anyone needs any information let me know. Jorge Schneider...

I also take two if they are available.

I have a "button" that pushes in and locks the pole on to the sleeve. It is exactly at the midpoint of the pole.

I just wanted to give an update to my shaft seal project. Now that the season is winding down, I am glad to report that the Tides Marine seal worked perfectly all summer...I even stopped checking it every single time that I use the boat! If anyone has any questions about any part of the project plea...

Everything seems to be in order, but I still get a few drops of water after about one hour of motoring. Is this ...

To make a long story short, I sent the broken strut from my F30 to WarrenRiver Boatworks and Paul Denis had a new strut cast for me. It took about three weeks for the whole process. The new strut looked great, and Paul Denis kept my old strut to use as a mold for future requests for a strut for a F3...

Well folks, it is now almost summer and I am still not in the water. I just needed to change the shaft seal...well, as I stated before, in order to remove the shaft, the yard mechanics had to cut the shaft. Now, in order to remove the shaft, they had to remove the cutless bearing from the strut. In ...

Too bad. Do you know where I could get a strut for a F30?
