Re: Carver 56" shaft length
When the boat is moving, do you have vibration?
Are the props true?

Re: Carver 56" shaft length
Remove the shaft that's still intact on the other side and set the broken shaft beside it to compare lengths, they might have been the same length but maybe not, I wouldn't assume anything. Something might have been changed in the past like the position of the engines, who knows. If both shafts look like they were the same length then you can use the good shaft to determine what the new length should be. I would recommend replacing both shafts.

Just a thought , have a walk thru some boatyards that deal with larger boats with your tape.......just might come across a model the same as yours, or at least get a better visual idea of what is normal.
