mine was about $110 from Hansen Marine. Guess it depends upon what you need.

John, I got the 3" Flex Coupler from PRP. Thanks for the lead. Unfortunately, when I left my boat last weekend I forgot to grab one of the screws to attach it to the prop. I want to use new screws, but can't check them because they're about 5 hrs away. Does anyone know what size screws should used to attach the 3" Flex Coupler on a Faryman 12 to the transmission and to the prop shaft?

Glad I could help, Ed. I'm pretty sure that the bolts are 10mm x 1". You might want to try giving Ralph at PRP a call. I'm sure that he'd be a quick response. :) John > > John, > > I got the 3" Flex Coupler from PRP. Thanks for the lead.

Happy to help, Ed. Give Ralph at PRP a call back. He should be able to give you the exact, but I believe that the bolts are 10mm x 1". > John, > > I got the 3" Flex Coupler from PRP.
