[C320-list] Globe Drivesaver

[Judy and/or Rick Luce]

Karl,

Echo #488 has one and it produced no apparent results w/o trimming.
Except of course the intended results of transmission protection.

Further, it should be mentioned that some feathering props hit the
strut causing the need for purchasing a new shaft ($400+)... OR...
buying a drivesaver ($75).  A very desirable option... you win twice.
I always like that.

Our best to you and Elaine
Rick and Judy

I am thinking of adding a Globe Drivesaver flexible coupling to my 
driveshaft. I believe the appropriate model is the 424Y. It will add 1 inch 
to the effective shaft length, unless I trim 1 inch from one end or the 
other of the driveshaft.

For folks who have done this installation, did you trim the driveshaft or 
just let it be? If the latter, do you notice any increase in vibration with 
the prop now an additional 1 inch from the cutlass bearing?



Thanks...
