Can anyone please tell me the propeller shaft diameter on a 1999 Carver 450 Voyager with 450 HP Cummins engines?

I personally would not trust the parts manual. I have the original manual that came with my boat when purchased new. It says I have 1 1/2" shafts. They are 1 3/8".
I would measure them to be certain.

Send an email to Carver with your hull number. They'll be able to tell you what they used on your particular build.

Hi:

I just purchased a 2000 450 Voyager with Cummins 450's. The shaft diameter noted on my survey is 2-1/4". In the photos they definitely look bigger that 1.5's.

Hope this helps!
