Thanks to both of you for the response.  My 2002 MkII came with a traditional stuffing box and the locking nut.  Your point is well taken regarding the ability to accommodate the flex coupler.  I will recheck this area again to be certain.  During my last haulout, and shaft zinc replacement, I tried to anticipate the aft movement of the shaft with a coupler installed. As a result, I positioned the shaft zinc accordingly.  I was concerned that if the zinc was too close to the leading edge of the shaft strut, it could interfere with the flow of water to the cutless bearing.

Again, thanks for the input.

Good advice regarding the need to check the flange connection to be certain it is tight.  On a very related topic, has anyone used a "drive saver" or flexible coupling application?  I have been considering the flexible coupling from R&D Marine.  Given the cost, I am seeking some input as to the value of adding this.

Thank you for the input.  It is very helpful.

The earlier posts refer to the Sherwood Impeller 10077.  I have the Universal M-35 in my C34MK II.  Is the Sherwood 10077 the right replacement impeller for use with the M-35?
