re: The Official Kayak Thread

Headwaters broke down a Jackson flex drive on Instagram story today after a failure and I grabbed some shots. The internals on that thing are way different than other drives. The first 2 pics are related as it shows the lever system that drops down the prop. The lever and prop are together and it looks like a solid, smart, and simple design





Now this is where shite gets different. They got the prop out and it’s connected to a long tube and he begins removing the prop with an Allen key



And there you see the failure and what drives that prop mechanically, a worm gear



That’s so radically different than Native, Wildy, and FeelFree it will be really interesting to see how that holds up years in.
