Hey have subaru generator with tapered shaft that I may put on a surface drive if there is a way to convert/adapt to a straight shaft. Thanks in advance. |

The only thing I have seen on here, the guy pulled the shaft, and had it welded up, then cut to be a straight shaft. Seems to me like the cheapest/ easiest thing to do. |

I remember seeing an adapter that can convert a tapered to a straight. It basically slides over the shaft and is held in place with the bolt at the end of the crankshaft and uses the existing keyway. |

As stated i opted to pull my shaft and have it machined. The best option is a new crank for $6-800,but at that price i could find a similar engine used with the standard crank already in it. So 2 other options.....gamble on that cheap taper adaptor,or machine shop. Id pass on the adapter,to me it has failure written all over it. On a gokart application....id gamble with it.but for a boat i may take on a 10 mile trip into marsh.....no gambling for me. Just my opinion. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=68387 |

Thanx....best option in my opinion,machine shop woulda charged around $100 to do that job. Made a new gasket for base. |

Machine shop rates must be pretty low in some areas. Up here that would be the first hour of labor. |
