Tiara is going to use it.

This is going to be a nightmare. Look at the schematic and
read what will happen to the drive under impact.

Yeah - I really want the drive unit to break off and sit
on the bottom.

Are you sure it's not April 1st over in Sweden?



So, what happens when you hit a rock or log at 25 knots with an Alpha or
Bravo drive?

The nosecone is frequently destroyed or severely damaged, and often the prop
is too. The nosecone and housing, however, are clearly stronger than the
props on this thing!

However, it is on a swivel bracket and the hydraulic rams that control trim
will be destroyed before the unit is completely dismounted, leaving a huge
hole in the boat.

As such you're going to do a lot of damage, but its not all that likely to
sink you.
