This shaft is what transfers all that engine power straight to the prop, so it has to stay true and balanced under load. On bigger Yamaha motors, especially in that V6 range, this part takes a beating over time. Swapping it out is one of those repairs that can completely smooth things back out and protect the rest of your lower unit from further damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"607\" data-end=\"610\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1bqk1w5\" data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"633\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"615\" data-end=\"631\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"635\" data-end=\"751\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"667\"\u003eDirect Power Transfer Role\u003c\/strong\u003e – Connects the drivetrain to the propeller for consistent thrust and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"852\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"785\"\u003eHigh-Strength Shaft Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – Built to handle heavy torque loads common in larger outboards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"854\" data-end=\"958\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"886\"\u003ePrecision Machined Splines\u003c\/strong\u003e – Ensures proper prop fitment and secure engagement during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"960\" data-end=\"1066\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"962\" data-end=\"991\"\u003eOEM Balance and Alignment\u003c\/strong\u003e – Designed to run true within the gearcase to reduce vibration and wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1068\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"bf5ct7\" data-start=\"1073\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1107\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1110\" data-end=\"1326\"\u003eCompatible with select Yamaha high-horsepower outboard lower units, commonly used in 225 HP and 250 HP V6 models. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Always verify fitment with your engine model and service manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1331\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1fngur7\" data-start=\"1333\" data-end=\"1345\"\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1336\" data-end=\"1343\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1507\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1347\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003eQ: What are signs of a damaged propeller shaft?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1401\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1401\" data-end=\"1407\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vibration while running, uneven prop rotation, leaking seals, or visible wobble are common signs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1636\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1552\"\u003eQ: Can a bent shaft damage other parts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1555\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1561\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, it can wear out seals, bearings, and gears if not replaced quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1760\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1638\" data-end=\"1687\"\u003eQ: How does a prop shaft usually get damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1687\" data-end=\"1690\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1690\" data-end=\"1696\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most often from hitting submerged objects or running aground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1904\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1762\" data-end=\"1796\"\u003eQ: Is this a difficult repair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1799\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"1805\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e It requires full lower unit disassembly, so it’s usually done during a rebuild or major service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"2041\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1906\" data-end=\"1960\"\u003eQ: Should I check anything else when replacing it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1960\" data-end=\"1963\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1963\" data-end=\"1969\"\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Definitely inspect seals, bearings, and gears to avoid repeat issues.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46939039531299,"sku":"61B-45611-20-00","price":341.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/7410\/9475\/files\/PV223239.jpg?v=1698807438","url":"https:\/\/partsvu.com\/en-mx\/products\/yamaha-shaft-propeller-61b-45611-20-00","provider":"PartsVu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
