Gee. Garwood days. They did all this for the same reasons . I wonder what they all found out that we refuse to accept? The WRITTEN word by the PR SALES force does it again!!! Duh Duh Duh. Good news when your prop flies off now, the SS scatter shield will protect all occupants? Sinking never will happen!! WE have run computer studies to prove only 1 in 5,000,000 chance? Love the attitude of the PR SALES engineering staff.

Oh. The other goof ball hi eff. job has been tried. Bow to stern setup : rudder, prop,strut, stuffing-log box, trans., engine. We are going to be so clever, people have to have the latest gadget. AND they pay extra top dollar for it. America IS STILL the land of the best scams. Enjoy yourself.

Man, what a sceptic. It's nice to see a company willing to take a chance. This is the same company that introduced the sterndrive as well as the Duoprop with just a little bit of success I would say.

Success for one of the most costly parts of the boat that eats parts if you inspect by the book. You never have looked at the repair area of marine shops. The floor is covered with upper and lower units apart. Most places live and die on stern drive repairs. How far away do you think BIG GM is since VOLVO is theirs? Good old G M repairs are about to strike. Make book on it.----------Very shortly GM quality will replace VOLVO quality.

The BREAKAWAY lower unit fits in perfectly with Caddilac's engine repair's. The blocks are not serviceable, REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE. They are not taking any chances.
