| If you have not yet fitted your prop shaft/tube, possibly you could consider a slightly different approach that would make life easier if you ever had to replace either shaft or bushes.
The prop tube is fitted with a short outer sleeve just where it passes through the hull. The outer sleeve is epoxied to the hull, and the prop tube is sealed in place using silicon. I've used this method on a couple of boats and a couple of guys in our club would not use any other method.
I attach a jpeg that shows this diagramatically.
Hope all this helps! Sometimes the simple question results in an avalanche of information!!
Nere mind - just remember, there is no such thing as a silly question - there are only silly answers :-)
