Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is the 62-inch shaft necessary for saltwater?
Saltwater center consoles often have very high bows. The 62" shaft ensures the propeller stays deep enough to maintain thrust during swell and chop, preventing "blowouts" at the surface.
2. How does the Bowguard 360° function?
The Bowguard 360° system breaks away on impact from any direction and automatically resets itself. This is critical when navigating shallow coastal reefs or oyster beds where impacts are common.
