You will generate shaft lash that will cause the

That will sink your boat.

===================================

And that is precisely why I will not install another one on a boat
that I own. I installed a Lasdrop on one of my old sailboats and it
preformed exactly as advertised but I was appalled at the relative
fragility of the unit compared to an old fashioned shaft log.

The only time I have encountered issues with the PSS was in the case of a
long shaft, typically in trawler designs. It simply did not work well, and
we reverted to a standard gland..

Good luck and good sailing.
