Watson Marine Engineering Shafts

Whether your shaft needs straightening or replacing Watson Marine performs all shaft work onsite with the ability to machine up to a 4” diameter.

New shafts can be manufactured in a variety of sizes ranging from 1” to 4”, using either 316, 2205 grade stainless or Aquamett 22. 2205 Stainless Steel is one of the finest materials available for pleasure boat shafts. Its composition gives it an outstanding combination of strength and corrosion resistance.

Shafts may be manufactured with either a double taper or single taper. Double tapered shafts are designed to be reversible. This effectively doubles the life of the shaft as it can be turned end for end when worn by bearings. Single tapered shafts are designed to be used with a clamp type shaft coupling.

We also fit and supply couplings and machine keyways.
