GDSD 35 Broke Shaft Lost Prop
Getting towed back in now. I hit a log this morning and broke my shaft at the threads and lost the prop. I need another drive shaft and prop ASAP, but of course Go-devil and every dealership that I've called is closed today. Does anyone know of a dealership that carries replacement parts that's open today (12/26)?
Couldn't of broken down on a better spot though, got a 2 man limit quick and marked the spot. Lol

Re: GDSD 35 Broke Shaft Lost Prop
Its unfortunate but Go devil dosent allow most parts to be in stock anywhere.. you have to call them, give vin#, then they ship you the parts.. plan on being down a few days

Re: GDSD 35 Broke Shaft Lost Prop
If you have it apart, might try a machine shop in your area to build you a new one. Have had a local machine shop build all the replacement shafts that I've replaced in the last few years. Shafts are made of a better grade of steel, and hold up really well, and are a little cheaper. I'd replace all the seals and bearings while you have it apart.

Re: GDSD 35 Broke Shaft Lost Prop
Yeah, I replaced everything in the lower unit 6 months ago except for the drive shaft and prop as the prop was still in pretty good shape. Guess I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow.

Re: GDSD 35 Broke Shaft Lost Prop
Damn that looks just like my old gdsd when it broke the shaft and lost the prop... I found me prop though. On making the shaft,,,, idk abt the gdsd but I was told that the longtail shaft has a twist to it like a torsion bar to absorb impact when the prop hit stuff. Maybe on the gdsd the belt takes the impact? I think the shaft for my gdsd was like $160 though but it might've been less.

Re: GDSD 35 Broke Shaft Lost Prop
It's not made into the shaft. So to speak. You're partially correct though. That shaft is made of EDT150, which has a good spring quality for a steel alloy. So yes, it absorbs torsional impacts pretty well. This is also the reason hitting a stuck prop with a hammer won't break it loose.

Re: GDSD 35 Broke Shaft Lost Prop
Yeah, I have a new BB that I've only used twice. I'm probably going to sell it. I just like the 3 blade better for the long runs. Got my boat up and running again, $380 dollars later.
