If you rotate one flange against the other sufficiently far enough to
shear one bolt, you're going to shear them all, it's really pretty
simple.



Marty. Think for a moment. A propeller slices and chews into a heavy
submerged log. MAYBE all the bolts shear off and the engine/tranny is
free of the shaft. Or MAYBE one bolt hangs on and now the flange
wobbles.
= Bent shaft.
Talk to a mechanic, Martin. Or the folks at drivesaver. Not only does
this happen, it happens often enough that our adjuster knew about it.
We had a nice long talk about drippless packing as well, since ours
failed on impact.
