Hello All
After my somewhat harrowing experience hitting and tangling a lobster pot on my prop last summer, I decided to install a cutter on the prop shaft. Doing my research, I found that the Shaft Shark looks like the best choice for me. I say that for three reasons. One, it is a split unit, the prop doesn't have to be removed to install. Two, there are no additional parts that need to be attached to the boat, Its a simple dual blade (very sharp) that rotates with the shaft and prop. Third, it is sold by Defender Industries in CT. Just before the boat goes in the water next month I'll install it and take some photos. If anyone has any experience with the Shaft Shark, I'd love to hear your opinion.
