Kentley is referring to what some may call a shaft log. I pitted for him when he broke the oval records so I got to see his JAE up close and personal and he uses an aluminum shaft log that stays in the hull. The tube going through the aluminum one running to the strut itself is definitely brass. Hope this clears it up for everyone.
That makes sense. Did you take any spy photos for posting?Kentley is referring to what some may call a shaft log.

The aluminum tube is a shorter tube and is fixed to the hull with epoxy. The brass tube slides into the fixed aluminum tube and can be easily replaced if damaged or worn out.What is the benefit of the brass tube inside the aluminum tube?Kentley is referring to what some may call a shaft log.

Yup, That's why I asked for pictures of Kentley's JAE rigger. The S-bend is an issue too....but it can't be easily replaced with the ski on the JAE in the way...The aluminum tube is a shorter tube and is fixed to the hull with epoxy.

Not true. The Eagle SGX boats run a solid foam sheeted rear center shoe that is cut out to just go around the stuffing tube. They have the shaft log glassed in and changing the stuffing tube is no problem if you're careful. As for the S bend it's no big deal if you anneal the brass tube first.Yup, That's why I asked for pictures of Kentley's JAE rigger.

Good to know. I'll try to make a slighter half s-bend for the shaft log. I did notice that your new Jag twin has s-bends with shaft logs, so it must work if you know what you are doing, which sometimes I don't.Not true.

Just heat it until the brass starts to blue then let it cool.Good to know. I'll try to make a slighter half s-bend for the shaft log. I did notice that your new Jag twin has s-bends with shaft logs, so it must work if you know what you are doing, which sometimes I don't.
To anneal I heat the brass tube till it glows red and then immediately quench it in water. Is this correct?
have any pics to share of the 21 yet? I think I will put in an order for the motor in 3 weeks and order the hull this week with some of the hardware just want to find some good water seals for that project and get speed master water proof on /off switch... haha spearminting yeah too much DW but hes fun to listen too!!
Hey Bill
didnt see them there Ron .... anywhere else ???
