Square drive couplers

Questions regarding square drive engine couplers.

Who makes the best ones for 3/16" and 1/4" shafts in terms of reliabilty / durability. Also, are they still available and if so, from where?

Thanks,

Tim.

I use Octura for 3/16" and Aeromarine for 1/4". The Octura is one piece.

Ditto from me too Tim. The thrust bearings for the strut on the 3/16 size i have had a few from MBA fail. I used to use ones from one of the on road cars which lasted forever. Im still trying to relocate them. 1/4 MBA are good.

Thanks Guys,

I thought it was about time I built a boat with a Square drive set-up. Better to get the right information up front before I spend any money!

Just call Tom at 539 435 9760 and tell him what you need and he'll ship it out to you..He lives in Fresno Ca, Almost all of us out here in the west coast run his S,Q drives and cables....Elite Boats use to sell his stuff too but I understand that John is no longer in business..
