Re: [OMC-Boats] Stringer Tilt solution

Andy,
 I'm sorry you took that as an insult, but if I show you a picture or
illustration at this point, It negates my legal responsibility until the
patent is filed and I have protection. You cant be mad at me for following
the rules. Your lucky as far as the longevity of your tilt system. You
obviously maintain well. KUDOS. I've been repairing the stringers for over
31 years and have seen my fair share of frustrated customers. People in
general that owned these boats were not in state of mind to do repairs, let
alone maintain fluids. Do a little more Due Diligence before monkeying up my
back. its one of the reasons many people scrubbed their attempt to repair it
( the clutch pack (N/A) and expense of the motor.Avg $100.00 (a mediocre
motor for that stress application). I have seen people bolt their clutch
packs together so it tilts. A dangerous remedy for lower end underwater
collisions. The clutch pack was designed to slip in the event of an
underwater obstacle. Mine will do the same, but not in the same location as
the clutch pack It is also a reduction gear setup, so the outdrive does not
drop down at the original rate. I'm sure you have experience with relieving
your finger off the switch so the outdrive doesn't slam down so hard. There
are other better features included that make it virtually maintenance free.
Like I stated in the previous post, I will be adding Illustrations after the
patent has been finalized.
 Thank you
