No Spotting



Here is a prime example of the unscrupulous or sloppy machining. This shaft literally fell out of the coupling and the boat took on water. The coupling was clearly never "fit" correctly to the shaft then the set screws were never spotted to act as a back up. Don't let this happen to you. Insist on a light interference fit and properly spotted set screws.
