Good question, Frank.  I’m not sure if you are kidding about trusting the nice clutch.  I’ll have to look closely at the prop in the daylight tomorrow.

I just found a copy of the owner’s manual and it discusses the “propeller slip clutch”  Should I trust a 70 year old piece of rubber to not have hardened and become less of a slip mechanism?  The illustration in the manual does label the shear pin as “shear pin” and not drive pin.

Anyone had trouble with the old rubber propeller slip clutches?
