Default What type of strut/ flex combo do I need??

Hy guys, I have a damaged flex shaft, or warped anyway, from the boat being dropped...but it is a one piece 1/4 welded, seems everybody sells, the flex shaft, that has a coupler, with set screws, to attach it to the shaft portion entering the strut. My strut has a pressed in 9/32 ferrul, and the 5/16 stuffing tube fits inside the strut! and a one piece 1/4 shaft, goes through it all.
Does or who sells this setup, with quick shipping. I really need this combination, to repair my boat.
I'm needing the strut, and the 30" shaft for my Hydro.
Thanks, your input would be much appriciated.

Thanks jacob, that is exactly what I am looking for. I have a standard strut, 4", I belive it is a speedmaster. It would be nice to order something local, as that cable comes from Hong Kong.

that company delivers very fast so dont write them off,but if you can get them local thats even easier.when you say the flex is damaged do you mean kinked or just bent?.

Top Secret boats has very nice struts and are fairly cheap too. They ship fast and have very good customer service. Dasboata on Ebay sells the flex shafts you are looking for, thats who I bought mine from.
