Genesis Stingers!

[FighterCat57]

OK, prototypes are en-route!

Still working on the 3/16" version, but worst case can drill/insert a Speedmaster bushing.

FC, very interested in these, they look tight.

Use an adapter 4mm => 3/16"

Yep. K&S #128 brass works well as a shim to use 3/16 props.

The hard part is convincing a foreign mfr that imperial fractional measurements are a "standard" worth pursuing.

Still working on it though.



If we do end up with 4mm, I'll stock up on extra 4mm supplies to fully support 4mm shafts.

HI FC, do u have a estimated time for the pre orders?

I'm hoping within the month, but have a 12/1 pre-order date setup.

[battlefury]

this is really great news. God bless OSE. Thank god for you!

[FighterCat57]

OK, the order is IN!

Just waiting on the factory now. I have two versions coming. 4mm and 3/16.

Due to the captive nature of the 4mm shaft, it is still a recommended solution for novice/intermediate boaters. 4mm captive 2 piece shafts are much more forgiving for loose couplers than losing an entire cable/dog/prop/nut setup with the 3/16 non-captive stingers.

Again, the 4mm stingers have been machined with extra material that will allow the bushings to be removed and drilled for 3/16" bushing, such as a Speedmaster.

Officially, the clock is ticking!

Please sign me up for a pair of the 3/16th.

Thanks,

Pre-orders start 12/1. BUT, I'll put you on the list, cuz I owe ya one.


Here's a look at the prototype on the Genesis hull;

I really dig the blue colour on that hull...

That's Bahama Blue and isn't clear coated yet in the photos. Just put the final coat on a few minutes ago. That's the prototype hull.

Sounds like it would be sweet if you could find someone with a lathe that could make some 3/16 stainless steal prop safts for those that were staggered like the 4mm ones so you wouldn't have the problem of losing the prop and everything if the coupler loosens up.

I have heard about loosing a prop shaft many times. However, in running boats for 15 years I have yet to loose one.
