What do you think this sort of drive would be like with props running surface piercing.
ive been given a dps . my e drive's git cracks on lower crown wheel so i now its gonna go bang its just a matter of time (dont you just love stern drive's)
i now the dpx or r would be better but my boat budget is 0 so the free dps seems like a good option .
p.s thanks to my local volvo delership for giving me there insurance salvage f.o.c ,bent skeg new drive
