This #10 Shear Pin is engineered to be a critical safety feature for your outboard motor's propeller. Its primary function is to break or 'shear' when the propeller strikes an object underwater, such as a submerged log, rock, or debris. This action effectively disconnects the propeller from the engine's drive shaft, preventing the immense torque from transferring further and potentially causing catastrophic damage to more expensive components like the gearbox, driveshaft, or even the engine itself. By absorbing the shock of an impact, the shear pin acts as a vital fuse for your propulsion system, minimizing repair costs and downtime.

Investing in high-quality propeller hardware, like this #10 Shear Pin, is a smart move for any boat owner. It offers peace of mind, knowing that your marine engine is protected against unforeseen underwater obstacles. Regular inspection and replacement of shear pins, especially after a potential impact, are crucial for maintaining optimal performance and safety on the water. This specific shear pin is designed for seamless integration with compatible propeller systems, ensuring a secure fit and reliable operation.
