That's my bent shaft, a few minutes from being yanked (just waiting to
remove the drippless). Bits of drivesaver are removed and the whole
thing is forward due to the wrestling match they had getting the prop
off. My new Martec is on the way.

As usual I back up what I say with clear pics. Maybe Crantz can claim
it's a fake for you! You need something to cling to.

a! Ha! What did your surveyor say about Bennateau using galvanized
plumbing fittings? The picture is no doubt genuine, but it's not a picture

of the transmission/drive train of a modern Benny. Maybe you could post
your pictures of thimbles and shackles again!

Cheers
Marty
