Lost Flex Cables

[Mel279]

get the ETTI collet, it grip very tight and never failed, or go for MBP collet. As for the collet saver, go for the MHZ, better balance since it uses 2 grub screw.

Jay, agreed on the different cables Hughy are the best I've found.
Does the 603 work on your big, 6s up oval boats??

I can certainly understand the very real benefits of fitting the shaft collet to save the flex cable. But if the shaft came loose on a boat with the rudder inline with the prop / shaft (eg: Genesis) wouldn't the rudder act as a barrier to the shaft moving any further backwards? Or am I being too optimistic in my thinking?

[Chilli]

In the case of an inline rudder, it would be a barrier. But you risk destroying the prop, rudder, strut or all of the above.

My shaft on my genesis actually only has about 1CM between the end of the shaft and the rudder, it did come loose once and hit the rudder, but the good thing was because it is so close, it came directly backwards and hit, so the shaft was still alligned in the strut. COuld do a lot of damage if the prop hit it
