So i have been searching for a non flex boat prop shaft. The only set up i found was from Dumas. Grimracer adviced me to use a straight shaft with no ujoint and just a coupler. So i searched and came up empty handed. I have ordered the Dumas hardware twice. Once when I first built the boat. And then probably 10 years ago. Both times they were bent. Plus it was just a shaft in a tube no bearings. You guys know any body that has these. Or am I stuck making my own. I found the persion ground stainless rod. Of course k&s has the brass tube. Thanks again guys.
.187 straight shaft.

I would try Harbor Models 626-963-4591
I was surfing there site awhile back and saw a hard shaft setup that had the shaft, flanged bearings and brass tube.
Give-em a call, they'll prolly direct you right to it
I did find them, search for prop shaft, the tab I found has 5 sizes of shafts,
Unfortunately they include bushings not bearings.
Or you CAN build your own @ McMaster Carr, the have the Flanged bearings there.

Thank you sir. I give them a ring I found the stuff on McMaster. I am a little nervous about threading a hardened shaft that small. Although if I can get it annelled I can heat treat it at work.

Get the shaft only from Harbor Models, they sell it threaded on one end, 14" long.
Build your shaft log/stuffing tube with bearings from McMaster Carr.
