V-drives

[2manymustangs]

Whirl-away, prop-release, whatever you choose to call it. Tell us what it is Jerry, why they're used, who makes them, we're can they be bought.

Not sure if whirl-away is a trademarked name or not... Here are the pieces (shown in the pic below) and, JERRY, keep me honest but at 4:20 in the video below when you shut off your HONCO in the video, isn't the sound we hear your PROP RELEASE in action???





^^^ THis is installed on the OUTPUT of the Vdrive and allows the ratchet/freewheel of the prop because the prop becomes a rudder basically WHEN an engine locks up/stops OR you get a lock up in your drive line for whatever reason, usually resulting in a QUICK out of control turn of the boat and the people getting pitched out...

I for the life of me cant remember who makes the parts in the pic that I posted, maybe BEAVERFAB??? Or you can purchase from Casalle... The spring keeps the two dogs engaged in the driven direction and allows the freewheeling of the prop if something locks the driveline...
