My 2 cents: yes, it's absolutely not fun removing the shaft, BUT if you do, it's an EXCELLENT opportunity to upgrade to a dripless shaft seal (zero maintenance), new Cutless bearing (probably needs to be done anyway), and rudder bushing (if needed; mine was smooth like butter afterwards and definitely needed it.)
Keep in mind that you'll also need to do a shaft alignment regardless of which option you take after the "fix."

I found the kit.... this has everything to connect to all the female plugs that plug into amps in the 2023 lsv with a 9502 and 1206.
This kit will have all you need. This and the color code and the bb-10 kit

I have a vibration on a 2001 sunsetter 21. I put a dial indicator on the prop shaft. in front of the strut I had .003 runout. Just in front of the prop I have .035 runout. It looks like it's a b**** to pull the shaft. It's hard to get to the coupling under the Walters V drive. I'm considering trying to straighten the shaft using a hydraulic jack to push up on the shaft. I would do it slowly using the dial indicator to measure the deflection and sneak up on it. Has anyone in the group tried this? Is the shaft easier to get out than it appears to replace the shaft or have it professionally straightened? All input is appreciated. I'll post photos and experiences either way.
