Along the propeller shaft? I mean, I have never owned an inboard or
an i/o (other than the Chris*Craft I'm salvaging) so I don't know.
It would seem to me that a direct connection to the engine/tranny
combination without having a U-joint of some sort to help absorb
vibration wouldn't be a good design.
How else with the type of transmission you described, would you
develop a clunk? Prop loose maybe?
Just trying to learn. ;)
