MM- Aren't they building crash boxes now that can be shifted while the engine is running? Seems I read that in PB. Just curious.

But then wouldn't that be a trasmission? Not trying to be a smartasss, but you would have to have a way to stop the rotation of the input shaft in order for the gears to mesh. On the boxes that I have now it is basically a in-out box, it's all gears, no clutches. I have thought about putting trannys in, but the reliability of the boxes outways the convenience of trannys for me right now.

Everyone have a great weekend
Loading up and heading to Hartwell.

Robert.......interesting for sure. Hey. Let us know how Hartwell was today. I left around 1pm, and the sun was starting to make an appearence.

MedMan-Not bustin your chops myself sir. But I did re-read that article this weekend and Sage does build a shiftable Zero drag Marine Crashbox. Now it stated that the shifting is control by two electric switches......maybe the best of both worlds so to speak.

Hope everyone had a Great Weekend

Cool . Where did you find the article? That would be alot easier to shift than having to bump the starters to change gears.

Hartwell was fun . It was a little cool though. The sun came out after lunch and warmed up nicely.

Hoping to be out this weekend on Lanier if the weather holds. I have the boats at Aqualand on ZJ dock which is around behind the lighthouse, I think the 4th dock "in" from the lighthouse. Come by and say hi.

See ya'll on the water.

MedMan- That article is in the Powerboat issue that introduces Sage's new outdrive. Not sure of the month. but I'll find out.

Roger.

MM-May issue of Powerboat in the Power & Propulsion section. Describes the new Sage drive by SCS Gearbox as well as the new crashbox. Check it out.

See on the water......Maybe this year.
