[quote=jonathan162]On the pin-as-fuse: The original H18 kickup worked fine for years... until it didn't and a lot of castings started to explode, leading to the redesign for the H17 and later H18s. I've never owned a Prindle, so I don't know the mechanism intimately; maybe it's so great that there's no risk. But if it blows one day you can't say you weren't warned.
On the install-from-the-bottom: That's how my H18 was too... it may have been a function of my upgrading the gudgeons, I don't remember exactly. Anyway, I never considered it a problem. Yes, the drain plug had to come out to install it, then you pin it through wherever is appropriate for keeping it from dropping, drilling if necessary.[/quote]
