So you guys are mounting this in the box, not on the flywheel. I have about 80 hours on my direct bolt setup, so I am hesitant to fix something that isnt broken.
Did you notice a difference in noise / vibration?

I believe the major benefits are the cushion you get when shifting in and out of gear and on re-entry with less than perfect throttling or in a close chop...like the water in the Great Lakes. This just is an attempt to take a drive line part that is generally used in a cruiser application to replace the Bravo rubber coupling.
You could argue that if this part isn't necessary, then maybe you don't need the Merc rubbler coupling.

OK, my drive made it through the season without buying this saver. Has anybody figured out which one goes in the box. I WILL be doing something with this in the off season.

I think the bolt patter is the same on the flywheel and on the carrier. I have 2 new in boxes if you want them.
$625 shipped - If you want pics/sizes, pm me your email.

This shows the set up for a drive Saver using the Stellings drive shaft.

OK. I attempted to put ther drive saver in,.... well I did put it in. now my companion flange carrior assembly is to long. Teague told me I may have to cut something but I cant remember what. any help?
It would also make sence that it would be too long if it were installed on the flywheel, right?

For anyone who cares its all done and works great in the box. I had to take the female yoke(not pictured) to a machine shop and have the thickness of the Drivesaver cut off, and rethreaded for the seal nut. It was pretty tough to put back on the flywheel, bellhouing on motor still in boat.
note: make sure you put the shaft back together "in phase"
