Re: making - re-usable - slip on powerheads

Jason, if your up here we'll get you out. It's far and weather dependent, but when it's on. it's on. But it's the wild west out there. Hundreds of big fat Great Whites pass through that area on their way to the Seal buffet and while it's not always sharky, there is the possibility of running into something Jurassic.

I was thinking about making a few of these and the "If you jam it on you Blow your hand off" thing kept ringing in my mind. I don't know zip about power heads, but would a safety pin make a good addition? Could be fairly simple as long as it prevents the Shaft from engaging the Round. Any Clevis, Cotter, type pin with a Pull cord. I figured Orange so you would see clearly that it was either safe or live? We're 100 miles out, so any problem is a big problem. Probably not necessary.
