I had my boatyard put in a new stern tube cutless. During removal and replacement, one of the two set screw seats had its threads stripped in the fiberglass. I tried to fix the threads with MarineTex and the screw is snug but not tight. The other seems fairly tight (flat headed set screws). What are the chances that the cutless will turn with the prop shaft or am I just being paranoic about the yard? Is one set screw enough?
Any advice or experience will be appreciated.
