Re: Clutch dog slip, on a Scott?

[frankr]

Jim, the "undercut" or whatever the proper word is, that Bill & I suggested may not even be true. But we were not talking about the obvious ramps. We meant the 90 degree faces may have just a couple of degrees reverse taper so they tend to latch together under pressure. Like I said, I don’t know if they are made that way or not. There must be some reason they are so durable, especially considering the funky shift linkage design. Besides that, they are rotating faster when shifting than a dog on the prop shaft does. Shouldn’t work at all, but they do.
