#2 SHEAR PIN 550011 MPN-550011

Protect your valuable marine propulsion system with the essential #2 Shear Pin. This small but critical component serves as a built-in safety feature, designed to intentionally shear and break when your propeller encounters an obstruction. This sacrificial action prevents more significant and costly damage to the propeller itself and the internal components of your outboard or sterndrive engine. It's a fundamental piece of hardware for any boater committed to maintaining the integrity and performance of their vessel.

• Key Features
• Sacrificial Protection: ** Designed to break under stress, absorbing impact and saving the propeller and engine.
• Engine Safety Assurance: ** A vital safeguard against drivetrain damage from underwater collisions.
• Ease of Maintenance: ** Simple to replace, ensuring minimal interruption to your boating activities.
• Cost-Effective Safety: ** A low-cost item that prevents high-cost repairs.

The #2 Shear Pin is a cornerstone of preventative maintenance for any boat owner. Its primary function is to act as a deliberate weak link in the drivetrain. When a propeller strikes an object underwater, such as a submerged rock, log, or debris, the immense force generated can easily damage the propeller blades, the propeller shaft, or the gears within the lower unit. The shear pin is engineered to fail at a specific torque load, absorbing this shock energy and snapping before it can cause irreparable harm to these more expensive components. This makes it an incredibly cost-effective solution for mitigating potential damage.

For boaters operating in waters where submerged hazards are a concern, the #2 Shear Pin is an indispensable item. Its straightforward design ensures reliable operation when it's needed most. Furthermore, the process of replacing a sheared pin is typically quick and easy, allowing for rapid repairs and minimal downtime, so you can get back to enjoying your time on the water without significant delay. Investing in and regularly checking the condition of your shear pins, like this #2 model, is a proactive step towards ensuring the longevity and safe operation of your marine engine and propulsion system. It's a small component that provides significant peace of mind and protection.
