Bought their own branded engine from them, an orca 6hp short shaft. Used it around 10 times and the diver shaft splines have twisted and snapped. (Have pictures as evidence) There was no damage at all to the propeller and the propeller bush didn't go. It's 2 years old but was just told it's out of warranty. I've took it to 2 separate marine repair shops, both of which told me they refuse to repair or even service orcas and are shocked at the quality of the components. So they weren't suprised the drive shaft snapped before the propeller bush. Just want to warn people to do research before you buy, check forums as many people say the same and invest in a quality brand which is going to last and be reliable.
