I guess Casper the friendly ghost was driving with an invisible kill switch. I'm guilty of that too. After reading a bunch of posts and finding out what happens when a drive breaks, I'm going to use my kill switch next year. I don't want to force this on my passengers, but I might not allow people to sit on the engine hatch while underway. Glad you posted your video. Hate that summer is over. Time to spend money on upgrades.

If the drive broke and the motor reved up the Rev limiters would catch it.
I would hope these people that posted these nightmares about loosing a drive under power had more brains than horse power they wouldnot have these problems. And set there boat up to not Hair Pin by using a tie bar. Or not blow up using rev limiters.
P.S. I can see if there only running a single engine boat loosing the steering can be a problem...... Just My 2 Cents

I have a tie bar for that if your meaning it will slap around and hair pin the boat.

I was reading a thread and this is what happend. An individual was cruising at about 3200rpm when one of the U-joints broke and the brovo drive broke off, leaving the drive hanging down. It looked like the broken bravo drive image on www.arneson-industries.com. The boat was a twin and when this happened, the boat made a sharp instant turn and people were ejected out of the boat, including the driver. That kind of makes you think. The thought never crossed my mind until I read the thread. Use your KILL SWITCH.

A tie bar won't help much if the drive came apart at the U-Joint and broke off. Actually, it may make the situaion worse.
