WILL, Been thinking about driveshafts. Do you know if anyone has ever tried to use wire rope. Like the piece between 50 merc carbs or a speedometer cable but bigger. Ends could be put on very easily and if you used rope with the correct wrap, as you were putting power to the shaft it would try to unwind but as it tried to unwind it would try to get longer. With the shaft between the crank and drive shaft to the lower unit. It would limit how much it could unwind. Even better might be to run the wire rope say 7/8" inside 1" or 15/16" pipe to keep it from unwinding too much. It would not have to be attached to the ends to do the job. LATER..steve
