Sean- Well you get what you pay for I guess. Around here if you used a shear pin your might as well leave the scooter back in the boat. I am constanly removing fishing line from the dacor, the clutch is worth the extra bucks. Jim3 Sender: Sean M. Cary Date: 7/10/99 5:21 PM >No, it has a shear pin design...it's a real simple thing.
