Thanks; it is looking that way. According to our parts manual Searay equipped the 44DB with stainless steel AQ22 shafts - so good quality on paper. I do not have confidence in the port shaft so I am replacing that one as well. I do not want to go through that nightmare again. Both shafts are being removed today. I am having two SS AQ22 shafts manufactured as replacements.I remember a run of bad shafts back in the early 2000s. Friends repowered two 31 Bertram boats and both suffered broken shafts. Must have been a bad lot number?
