Prop Shaft

[gn7]

I guess.
The point that was started here was about shafts failing, and the possibility that 80 boat pitched ear that took out the shaft.
Whether it was the prop, or the shaft is meaningless. In either case it is not indicative a material failure, or poor machining, and has zero bearing on any of us, and virtually nothing to do with the other failures that started this thread. We've brought valve spring failures in Nascar into a conversation about daily drivers. There is NO connection to what is under the top running SS and wants under ANY of our boats, or the ones than run the enduro. Its different animal. We might as well be discussing the proplems with camshafts and lifters while we at it. Know any enduro, circle boat, ski racers, drag racers that suffer the camshaft issues the SS guys do. So why are we even discussing the issues with the skinney ass propshafts and razor blade thin props. It ludicrous.

IF the 80 boat did pitch a blade, it has NOTHING do how the prop was constructed, If it wasn't the cause, it still means jack shit. The prop and shaft are destine to fail. Failure was built into both from the beginning.
Like a top fuel motor. It MIGHT live to the end, but don't turn it around and take back to the start line. Its spent. 3.5 second of life is all it had in it from the assembling. Lets not wonder why they burn pistons, torch valve and hammer bearings, and question the material and manufacturing.
