Let's see how dumb Jeff and Martin are...AGAIN!

I said my prop fouled something. THIS IS WHAT THAT MEANS:

Main Entry: 2foul
Function: noun
2 : an entanglement or collision especially in angling or sailing

I never said a line caught/wrapped my prop. I said the prop fouled
something, which it did. The object was not visible to us or boat that
towed us in, so it could not be retrieved. I then said that my shaft
was bent. Martin said a driversaver could NOT save a shaft and I
explained clearly, using the most simple language possible for him,
exactly what type of scenerio could save a shaft using the drivesaver.

Make up what you want, but my posts are consistent and yours are NOT.
Does Martin really think the whole story is made up? What a dope!

Oh...sailed today and sailing tomorrow. Have fun posting on ASA while
we sail our days away!

Ok, let's start with your first lie:



h. Martin said a driversaver could NOT save a shaft

I never said that, you can't get anything right can you, (how many times
did you hear that from your mother?)

Cheers
Marty

h. Martin said a driversaver could NOT save a shaft



I never said that,



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....Okay! So then we agree that a drivesaver
can save a shaft as they and my mechanic explained.
Very good!

Cheers, Martin!

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!

Bzzzt! I categorically state that Drivesaver is not designed to save the
drive shaft, it is designed to save the transmission and engine, quite
possibly at the expense of the drives shaft. You may try to change the
subject all you want, it won't work.

As for the picture; if you're gonna spend all day scouring the yard for
someone who has a boat on the hard with a disconnected drive shaft, you
could at least have found one that resembles the insides of a Benny.

Cheers
Marty

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.

Every boater knows that "fouled" means tangled. Face it, n00b, you
tried to use sailer talk and screwed up!

The object was not visible to us or boat that
towed us in, so it could not be retrieved.

It was one of those invisible logs? It was close enough for an
outboard launch to also hit it and it was not visible? No one had a
boat hook to use to find it? Or do you make more money leaving it in
the channel?

Did he say that? I don't think so.

and I
explained clearly, using the most simple language possible for him,
exactly what type of scenerio could save a shaft using the drivesaver.

Of course there is some scenario where it might happen. But it wasn't
designed for that, nor does the company make any such claims. Its
only a salesman saying, "sure, it might help there too." But then
this whole thread is about an instance where it didn't help. In fact,
it probably did what it was designed for, save the tranny.


Make up what you want, but my posts are gibberish and yours are NOT.

well said!

it wouldn't be the first time.

True, we haven't sailed in a few days. But we've been out for two
weeks and currently on a mooring in Vineyard Haven, one of the nicest
spots in the world. Its only 150 miles from you, about 3 days, you
could do it if you wanted to! Today we might go to Menemsha, then its
over to Hadley's, from there its Scituate, and then home. After a few
days of taking care of business, we're heading East for a month in
Maine. And then we still have a few weeks for shorter cruises.

But I'm really envious of you - I always wanted to live in a small
house an hour away from a protected bay where a could sail a few times
a week.

You have to zoom in a bit, turn on the satellite view, and slide over
to the harbor to really see the nautical side. Also, half the boats
in the harbor are classic wooden boats - I'll post some pics when I'm
back on broadband. The nice thing about the Vineyard is that there
are 6 towns, each with a different character, and a nice bus system to
travel between them. We like to hang here for a week or so each summer
