    It finally happened! Shaft strut, prop, shaft bent

    Well our 4th season with our 2005 Tige 22v. Boat has been awesome, very reliable so far.

    Yesterday out of nowhere in 30ft of water hit an underwater tree. If you’re in Texas and know Lake Granbury you know what I’m talking about.

    After surveying the damage it looks like I’m going to need a new shaft strut, propeller, possibly rudder, likely bent the prop shaft also. Already texted a local mechanic and looks like labor alone is $1500 plus probably easily $1500 in parts.

    I normally do all our vehicle and boat maintenance and repairs on my own and am seriously considering tackling this. I’m looking for advice on where to get parts and what parts I’ll likely need that I haven’t thought of. Also any good videos with tips on how to perform the repairs?

    I’ll add some pictures of the damage.

    Strut and shaft are made by marine hardware, you call them up and they will get you setup. Overall it's not a terrible job.
