Jon,
Congrats on completing the disassembly. Did you gather any data on
ear protection while pounding out the shaft from the inside?

I
was finally able to remove the port motor housing on the front of the
K600. It took a lot of effort pounding on the shaft from the inside
of
the cabin. Lea Nichols and his friend Wayne Russel made a tool
that fit
against the shaft so I could pound the shaft without damaging the
end.
After about two hours of pounding (each whack only moved the
shaft about
1/64 inch) it came free.
The thru-hull shaft is in
pretty serious condition and will need to be
built-up and then turned down
to it's original dimensions again. Links
to photos provided
below. This was the last thing needed to be done and
the sub is now
completely stripped and ready for sandblasting. I doubt
I will have
that done this winter and will likely wait until spring and
warmer weather
so I can immediately start putting the vessel back
together
again.
