The Drivesaver is not meant to protect your shaft, it protects the
transmision and engine. Once again something you may have heard of
but
know nothing about.



Wrong agaiin, Martin. I spoke to the folks at Drivesaver and they
claim that shaft damage is less likely with their drivesaver. They
make zero claims that ANY component will be protected 100%, but a
light strike to a propeller can be abosrbed by the drivesaver.
Looks like it did protect the tranny, but we'll never know for sure.
I guess we won't be seeing any sailing shots from you this year, right
Martin? Oh yeah...you don't have to "prove" anything!

Looks like Marty is correct again:

"A light strike to the propeller can be absorbed by the drivesaver."

The drivesaver is functionally nothing more than a rubber isolated shear
pin. The bolts have to break to "absorb" anything. The rubber can only
absorb axial, not radial or torque forces. Once again, you shower us with
lies and idiocy!

Moooo-hoooo-haaaa-haaaa!!!!!!!!!

Flimsy propeller shaft not properly supported! What did you hit? A submerged
clorox bottle? Run over your own dock line?

Mooooo-hoooo-haaa-haaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course he could not sail back to the dock.
He doesn't know how to sail! Perhaps if he
did, he would not have snagged his dinghy
painter.

Sure you did Bob, whatever you say Bob....


Ignorance is reversable, but stupidity, alas is forever.

Spoke to Mark over there, Martin. You're welcome to call him up and
check up on it, hear what he has to say. I've sold 4 of the
Drivesavers thus far and the breakaway point CAN save a shaft from
damage, especially when fouling lines. Period.
Call and talk to them about it.

Do you want me to explain EXACTLY how the drivesaver can save a
sailboat shaft? My guess is that even YOU will be able to understand
the physics.

Tell us how it saved yours!

Rubber is a spring like material that returns to its original shape. So how
does this absorb energy?

If you really believe rubber or springs absorb energy then you must also
believe that ice coolers stay cool by absorbing the heat that impinges on
them.

Explain the physics, please!

Tell us!

You stupid dolt!!!

Mooooooo-hoooooooo-haaaaaaaaa-haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!

Dang, you've knocked the BS meter right of the scale and bent its'

Go ahead explain away.

they could tell just from talking to you on the phone?

no surprise there.
