Does this remind anyone of an OMC(?) item called Saildrive??? I hope it
works and works well. Volvo seems to be an outfit that takes engineering
seriously. Not too many Volvo orphans out there such as the Yamaha stern
drive.

Tiara is going to use it.

Forward facing propellors with no protection eh?

That ought to be interesting the first time you hit something solid at 40
knots.

Oh yeah, I read the part about the leg shearing off and not puncturing the
hull. Uh huh. And if that seal fails? Exactly how big is that mounting
hole? Bet 'ya can't jam a wooden plug in THAT slot.
