I have a 1962 Pearson Ariel, and the original drive shaft is still in place, although the Atomic 4 was removed decades ago. I have owned her for 10 years, and use an outboard in the well. The shaft still spins (at low hand speed) and does not leak (if so slower than evaporation), but I never attempt to spin if she is not on the hard.

For my next haul out, I want to replace or refurbish the whole kit including bearings. I am interested in info about the specs of the original prop as well.

1) Do any captains know if there is a Kit for Ariel Prop Shaft with seals and bearings?

2) Do any captains know the specs of original prop shaft and prop for 1962?

3) I do not want to remove it and seal it....working on a step by step repower.

Thank you for any advice or direction!
