Default RE: SUPERVEE DRIVESHAFT HELP!

So all was replaced, and LOST again! I was about 90 seconds into the new run, and same scenario...Lost the drive shaft, prop, et al!

Is it possible I hit something under the surface of the pond I run in? It hasnt rained this month, and the water is very low?

I did use nailpolish on the threads, thinking the prop might have loosened...This was not the case?

The 10mm nut on the motor end of the driveshaft is still very secure, about 1mm-2mm from the 12mm nut on the motor.

Any other suggestions?

Jason

PS I should have used a plastic prop for the new run, instead of the BeCu $20 prop. Atleast I purchased two of everything!
