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.

The failure was in the flex cable at the connector from the looks of it. It's not that new of an idea...only in kayaks. You can find flex cables in almost...if not all...weedeaters these days.
I'm not putting down the Jackson drives, I'm glad to see the different versions. Will have to watch and see if that's going to be a weak spot.
They should put a shear pin of some kind on the prop...I'd rather replace that than the cable.

If Jackson can get their shite together they have the best idea for a prop drive IMO. And maybe pair that with a Yak that has more of an open cockpit and bigger tank well.
