Hey Chic. Do you think keepers that stopped you losing the motor in a pancake would just rip the mounts out of the hull???

Well, like Jerry said earlier in this thread, the Keepers would not have done me any good in this case. The keepers only help when you hit bottom nose first. I don't think you would have any potential to rip the mounts out of the hull unless the motor mounts were made of metal or a VERY stiff rubber or plastic.

I dont think you are understanding me. I am not talking about "Kenney Keepers".

I am talking about a different type of "keeper"

Kenney keepers stop the motor moving too far forward.

I am talking about a metal "keeper" that stops the motor moving too far up and down.

Do you think that would rip the mounts out of the hull if you landed upside down??

I really don't know. I guess one of Murphy's Law's would apply here.

I was surprised at my incident. Three of mine sheared completely off and the fourth was hanging by a thread.

I was just thinking about that Ollie, then came to your post!

Yeah, what if the Kenny Keeper had a top part added to it somehow... Then it would also keep the motor mounts from stretching up and down when your in that predicament.
