Hey thanks everyone for all the advice. Finally got the shaft off - it definitely did unscrew! The engine was replaced last year and they must have put in a newer version coupling and driveshaft. The coupling is flexible with a rubber bushing inside. New floating bearing/seals are working great - had the ski out today and it runs like a dream.
However, I need to know one more thing: Should I pump grease into the grease fitting on the bearing? There was some grease already on the new bearing and I smeared a little on the shaft before assembly. If so any special type of grease needed?
How does the grease pump in? - the fitting is not the automotive type I'm used to. It's obvious that I got no instruction manual with this boat.
