Massive thanks to Mat for towing me in after my prop shaft sheared - Mat your a diamond...

So before he get to his P.C. and post the pictures of the disaster I thought I would tell you guys first...
New Expensive 5 blade 26P at the bottom of Southampton Water with Hafl of a prop shaft and Me Shouting MAYDAY MAYDAY and other offensive words - Called international rescue and Mat provided the tow bacck to drivers he's taken loads of pickies so expecting the P..s to be taken later.

Thanks Again Mat

Ouch, that's an expensive day out!

[Pash 1]

Yes Expensive, Yes Frustrating not knowing why it broke..

[Tony Davis]

I imagine it's broken coz it was worn out/tired, and you were swinging a very big prop. You need to go over to a one piece (fatboy) shaft.
