Today at the pond! Made note for next season. After engine starts in reverse and you drop it in the water. the transom will submarine! But the real problem was after retriving boat, refired it, dropped it in again, the danm thing goes 10' and spins the shaft loose, feeding the pond bottom with a perfectly good flex shaft and new prop. Danm! But what a great hobby
 
Put a small piece of fuel line on the shaft before the tube.and you don't have to make notes you will remember :lol:
 
people will learn the tricks of the sport.

Nitronewbie,

If you use a square drive on the flex shaft you won't ever have to worry about loosing anything even if the flex shaft breaks plus you won't have any extra stress on the crankshaft or bearings.
