Methods to deal with groves on the propeller shaft

# Add/Re-position spacers between the seals
# Machine propeller shaft and add a 316SS sleeve to return to original size
# Replace propeller shaft
Notes: The 99139 SKF Speedi Sleeve For 35.00mm/1.375" Shaft has been installed over the propeller shaft - this is a bad idea.  The Speedi Sleeve is not rated for continuous salt water immersion so it is not 316SS (likely the propeller shaft material).<br>
