Hey Big proppa

[Infomaniac]

Thanks for sharing the progress of your project.
I have been busy and been around (lurking) but not posting much.
Good job man !!

Hey thanks - not a huge motor but should hopefully do pretty well for me. Hows your boat doing?.

[Infomaniac]

Broke the drive shaft - damaged the boat - done for the year.
Other than that it is great.

When your driveshaft broke, did the driveline guard work as it should?

[Infomaniac]

OK here is where I expose myself as a dumb ass.
The driveline guard was off.
The bell housing was cracked and was at the welder's. I was testing new propellers and thought I would gamble 1 time out without it.
Lucky it did not break at the v-drive end.

Lucky you didn't break the big balls. I had a kid throw a ski rope in the bottom once, propshaft coupler grabbed it up and a loop ripped the distributor clean off.
