Our 4107 croaked and I have a 4108 rebuilt long block
sitting in the saloon awaiting installation. We have a
Thames tranny and the consensus is to get a new
transmission. The mechanic mentioned putting in a drive
saver to extend the shaft to fit the new set-up rather than
buying a new shaft at this time. From photos it looks like
the shaft is around 10' long...heh We could use a bottom
job this year so hauling isn't a huge problem but it would
be kinda nice to have a working engine now.

So what do you all think about drive savers? Strike me I
should just put the money into the new shaft...
