The Sliding Dog Whirl Away Prop Release fits Whirl Away-style marine gearbox systems. Consequently, it suits boats that need protection against driveline lock-up.

Marine Applications
Marine driveline systems face shock loads, sudden changes in RPM, and exposure to saltwater. Therefore, this Sliding Dog Whirl Away Prop Release disengages the propeller when a gearbox locks up, allowing the shaft to freewheel until the operator regains control. In addition, EN36A hardened steel resists fatigue and maintains strength during repeated stress cycles. Consequently, high-performance craft such as race boats, ski boats, and competition vessels rely on this part for dependable operation.
