[Rhodes22-list] new rhodes 22 owner - and a question

[gary crofton]

I'll look at the mount and shaft length.  One problem i've had with  
this 3.5 hp, is that the shear pine will break if i put too much load  
on the motor. (i've found a cut portion of a coat hanger works well  
in a pinch........ I'll give it a try tomorrow and report to ya'll.
