It sure looks like without the ability to give under a hard collision, that shaft is in trouble. I've heard it is "indestructible" and has a lifetime guarantee. But...I wouldn't want to be the one to test it. I broke one but I don't know of a trolling motor alive that would have lived through that one. I was on full 10 speed and wasn't paying attention and squared up a Monticello hammer. If you don't fish Monti then you don't know what I am talking about. The stumps in that lake are petrified. Minnkota replaced it no questions asked and the great guys at Sartin Marine had me back on the water in less than a week.

Worse than the shaft breaking would have been my butt going overboard. Ha Ranger Z520 guy.
