JLR,
The "Nellen Composite" doesn't know anything but outboards http://community.webtv.net/tassail/ILLDRINKTOTHAT |

I am talking about inboards with shaft drive. If you have one of those shear pins are never seen. Put one on the prop and you can't get at it afloat. Put one in the shaft/engine coupling and your prop shaft is likely to disappear back out of the stern tube if it shears. |

How many outboards have you seen with bronze props? Well, you could put a bronze prop on any outboard you liked. Not difficult, merely expensive (or, if you wanted to cast & machine it yourself, tedious). As for shear pins on an inboard, the coupling will function just fine as a slightly-more-expensive shear pin. -signed- Injun Ear (formerly known as Eagle Eye) |

No shear pins? You mean Woodruff keys in the coupler? Yeah I have them, but they do not do much in the way of dampening the blow of non-rotational strikes. If you have a boat with a strut housed cutlass I'd never go stainless. Joe Joe -- jlrogers±³© |
