Watkins 27 prop shaft help

[Dwight Keener]

Hello,
My wife and I recently purchased (well 6 months ago) a 1980 Watkins 27ft. We have made great strides in the rehab of this sailboat including new deck and cabin top fiberglass, new interior bulkheads ( which were non existent so we made templates out of foam board ) and so much more thus far.
Right now I’m having trouble determining the exact propeller shaft size diameter.
Can’t locate it anywhere .
I keep coming up with 1” - 1 1/4” - 1 3/8”
We’re getting a new shaft, coupler, and cutlass bearing but keeping the old stuffing box and the prop is being refurbished
Any help if one of you own this model, would know, or advise on obtaining the shaft diameter it would be greatly appreciated
Thx
Dwight

DOH !!
Never mind, After thinking a minute , if I’m keeping the old stuffing box, then measure the diameter of the shaft hole which is 1”. (Dummy lol)

Measure the old cutlass bearing too .
