HELP HELP with Sportmaster !!!

[rarias]

Hi SF Techs,

I bought a tunnel with twin CLE lowers and when I open find out the prop shafts and drive shafts were dead, corrosion all over (see pics). I need to replace but don't know for sure the parts numbers since they are old Racing Engines. (They came off 1998 Mercs 260HP EFI Offshore 20”).

Appreciate any HELP.

just put a used D/S in it the prop looks ok.....steel shafts rust but are stronger than ss.....bet my 5 cents of nik on it.....

ive had great sucess installing speedy sleves on junk drive shafts. also can be installed on prop shafts before installing prop shaft seals.

I did not have luck on speedy sleeve burned the seal out in couple hrs because of added circumference maybe ok if lower submerged ,but surfacing ?

Had no idea they were CLE, thanks.

The internal parts for some reason were ok but changed all for new parts. Got both prop shaft (small). Now the hard part, the drive shafts. Not sure if the sleeve is the way, corrosion is very advanced, this boat had been sitting inside a hangar for 10 years imagine that...

Were the steaks I got the sae salt LOL
