Protect Your Investment. Maximize Performance. This Shaft Saver is made from 304L stainless steel and is designed to directly mount to the lower gear case of the Mercury Racing 300R, 400R and 450R. Installation requires drilling two (2) 5/16" holes in the front of the lower gear case. The plate also utilizes the existing mounting points of the anodic plate and is secured with stainless steel ARP® bolts and nyloc nuts provided with plate.
The ultimate solution for smoother, safer, and more efficient boating.
• Significantly Reduces Vibration – Experience a smoother transition onto plane with minimal vibration.
• Prevents Costly Shaft Failures – Drastically reduces the risk of propeller shaft breakage.
• Protects Your Prop and Gear Case – Avoid losing expensive props or spending thousands on gear case repairs.
• Faster Planing with Less Throttle – Requires noticeably less throttle to get on plane, reducing strain.
• Handles Heavy Loads with Ease – Maintains performance under load—no need to drop pitch to avoid slippage.
• Confidently Run Over-the-Hub Cleavers – Enables over the hub cleaver props to get on plane like a through-hub setup.
• Boosts Cavitation Plate Leverage – Adds the lift your cavitation plate needs for quicker, smoother planing.
Note: Customer is responsible for verifying propeller clearance with the cavitation plate. All hardware must be torqued to specification, and proper installation is required. While this plate helps reduce vibration and cavitation, Eddie Marine is not responsible for broken propeller shafts or cleaver damage.
