There seems to be acknowledgement that the propshaft places tremendous forward pressure on the Vdrive plate.
1. What is the formual to calculate that force?
2. How much of this force can a 1/2" plate resist? And, therefore, how much of the uncontrolled force needs to be controlled trough attachments from the plate to the stringer.
For example: a 1500 pound boat, 750lbs torque, 22% overdrive, and 20% slippage. How much force is on the vdrive plate, and at what angles?
Have you...by any chance been harvesting oregano lately???
