I hear you. If the shaft is a little rough you could hone it a bit with a sharpening stone. One thing that I do which is contrary to the instructions is to coat the shaft with a little bit of Teflon grease. When taking the ring off the shaft remember that the set screws holding it are doubled up one on top of another. Many boaters have put an additional clamping collar in front of the the SS ring as
insurance to prevent the ring from slipping forward.
My PSS came with the
boat when I bought it 34 years ago. I won't say it has been trouble free because it hasn't been but there have been no serious issues with it.
