Flex Drive Mark IV
I am highly satisfied with with my new drive train. It is a bit lighter than the original that required regular lubrication. It seems slight faster and is definitely somewhat smoother. My only tests have been in windy water without clear sailing. Happy that I received it; although, instructions for installation would be helpful, especially concerning the different design of the front anchor bar with screw-down nuts.

Mark IV flex drive
I took my Big Rig out on 12/2/22 with the new Mark IV flex drive installed.
I love it!
It is QUIET and smoother than the previous version. I fish saltwater inshore so I like being quiet around redfish. This drive is QUIET! It's just what I hoped it would be: quiet, smooth, and seems a little bit faster.
Great job Jackson!!! -
Flex Drive Mark IV Upper, Lower & Prop Complete Upgrade
I upgraded my Bluesky by selling my old Bluesky and buying a new one with the new Flex Drive Mark IV before you could buy just the upgrade. I recommend it, it is like night and day the new flex drive is way better, I also would recommend upgrading your rudder to the new one also.
