How many outboards have you seen with bronze props? How many inboards have you seen without shear pins? -- jlrogers±³© |

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. |
