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?
