fast 252,
I have! I also have the Stelling's extension boxes. I have 50hrs on my drives and driveline withOUT the drive savers. Your driveshafts will need to be about 1/2" shorter or so (I can't remember the exact measurement), so you may have to have your driveshafts shortend, but that will depend on how much clearance you already have with them the way they are now. I have just installed the drive savers, but had to have the drive shafts shortend to make the fit.

My extension boxes have been mounted as high as I can get them for my particular make of boat which is just underneath the rub rail. I suppose it could be mounted above the rub rail level, but I didn't want to interfere with the rub rail so I may have to have some IMCO 2" shorty lowers installed. I think my driveshaft is at about 6%. I guess the most you can safely go is 6-7%. I'm not sure what clearance you're talking about.

kaama-I had the same problem as you. The rub rail would not allow the extension box to go high enough-even with a 2" shortie. I had my brother in-law machine a piece of 1-1/2" aluminum plate to form a spacer. This pushed the box further away from the transom and a notch allowed it to fit nicly over the rubrail. Eventhough the plate is aluminum, it still weighs a pretty penny and wasn't cheap to buy-but it got the job done. The best thing is that I didn't have to extend the drive shaft.

So do I need one for my stelling box? Do all the skaters, formulas, etc from the factory with stellings box have one? Is this a real fear/concern? to need one? Where do I get one?
