    Squeal as Prop Coasts to a Stop

    I have a 2001 SAN. As the prop slows to a complete stop I hear a squeal which seems to be getting worse over time. I had originally thought the noise was coming from the stuffing box nut rubbing on the drive shaft, so this season I replaced the conventional stuffing box with an OJ Dripless seal; however, the noise is still there. Through process of elimination, I am thinking the only other thing that could be causing this noise is the strut bushings. Any thoughts or suggestions?

      Maybe the grub screws that are in the drive shaft flange that screw into the drive shaft have loosened and are hitting the transmission.
