    Needs a zerk fitting on the grease adapter... Makes it a LOT easier.

    Could you tell more about the "inspection and possible change" of the blades every 1000 hrs, as you state near the end of the video? To my limited experience it looks like a very short amount of time before the need to change them arises. Thanks in advance, Lucio

    Too much maintenance for my 47 cat, planning on going on to the hard once every 3 to four years on my travels. looks more like a Bruntons Varifold for me, i have no problem getting wet to replace the Anode.

    I've been told we have to be very careful engaging the transmission and switching between forward and reverse or the blades engaging/changing directions is quite loud and causes transmission problems? how true is that? I'm a firm believer it's just a bad transmission and they are blaming the prop. but based on it's design, without enough water resistance i could see it slamming into gear, in turn causing transmission problems. Guidance requested I'm fix'n to own one (and a new transmission... ugghh)

    The greasing process is an absolute joke and a way to sell extra parts, 5mm thread really!
