Have managed to strip one of the four threads on the gearbox side of our Centaflex coupling. (I think it's a Centaflex 127). I'm trying to decide whether to replace the whole unit (about £350) or just the mounting-flange end of it (about £80). The present coupling is 12-years old (5,500 hrs), but I have no idea how long the rubber elements of this type of unit should last. Anybody have any idea?

How many of you are using vetus bullflex couplings? What kind of experiences with those? What bullflex model and what kind of engine and propeller shaft setups? How many hours you have used it?

Hello I have a beta 43hp 2800rpm engine and a prm 150 1:2.09 gearbox on my tresfjord 26 boat the propeller shaft is 35mm and 1.8 meters long. Weights aprox 13,59kg propeller is a 17x14 3-blade weight 7.7kg Im now fitting a vetus flexible coupling Bullflex type 8, it weights 11.9kg A smaller Bullflex type 4 that weight 6.9kg would otherwise be good for my aplication but there is no model for a 35mm shaft My consern is that is there too much combined weight on propeller shaft for prm 150 gearbox to handle, will it wear out faster? Is bullflex coupling going to take care of exrta weight By flexing when engaging a gear? shaft, coupling and propeller weight combined is 32.2kg Best regards Henri
