The springs ride close to the hubs and electro-magnets engaged the springs kinda like the chinese finger toys that u cant pull off, the more torque harder they gripped the hubs.. supposedly the heavy oil would engage the reverse spring when in fwd at speed and boom...
Grew up in Miami Shores, 94th and 12th avenue. :cheers:Quote:

Good after noon !!! I was looking throw some skater pics and seen you in a 21 skater with the 300r on it . I have a 21 skater and looking to repower . Would like to know how the 300r did on your boat . Thanks ervin
ervin, not sure who "you" is, but the 21 Skater belongs to a guy in the Keys. The best thing to do is go to the Facebook page for Keys Island Runners and scroll down to the pick of the 300R 21 Skater and ask there. :cheers:
