I don’t own a Freedom but have interest in the 40-40s. You see I own
Shaft Lok Inc… We manufacture a propeller lock that keeps the prop
from freewheeling when sailing. We only sold one unit to a 40 - 40
user years ago but never a peep since but some our sales are through
dealers and yacht info is lost.
We do get requests from time to time for referrals. Owners asking for
other Shaft Lok same yacht type users. This is mostly for
installation help. It would be interesting to find out who has a S/L
and if they would be willing to be contacted by fellow owners for
help. Of course should there be S/L problem issues we will help.
Anne and I live our boat Sea Ya II (MacGregor 65) for about 6 months
a year. The boat is on the hard now in Venezuela SA. (Pat Robertson,
notwithstanding, we enjoy this part of Venezuela.) We’ll go back (at
home in Wisconsin now) in January '06. So it is interesting reading
advice on maintenance! Ican use all the help I can get. We solved
the mast partner leak with ace bandage and ‘Rubberize It’ of all
things! If someone wants that story I would be glad to post it.
Thank you for your time.
