Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Okay,

Holy Backpedal, Ole Chum!
Martin now agrees that the drivesaver can save a shaft!!!!!! He's
trying to pretend that he's not been fighting this point for the last
24 hours! Obviously he either spoke to someone who actually has a clue
or called drivesaver as I suggested.

Ummm.....HOOOOH AHHHHHH!

And Martin has yet to comment on the pic I posted!

Uhhhhh. Rob. Your bent shaft is not a very good sells endorsement for
something called a drivesaver.

BTW whats wrong with the system mariners have been using for the last
100 years to save the drive gear?

It's called a shear pin, or woodruff key? They are cheaper and do a
better job.

Joe, there is a heck of a difference between a shear pin and a Wooodruffe
key- Hide quoted text -

Both are designed to break before the gear they protect break. Right?

They both cost about a buck.

A shear pin is designed to break to protect the rest of the setup. Breaking
is not part of the design specification of a Woodruffe key
