          On my first boat I had two universal joints
to get the prop vertical. The shaft coming off the
gearbox was 25 deg and it resulted in the first change
in angle at 14 deg and the second at 11 deg. I broke
both universal joints at different times. After upgrading 
to stronger ones I still had problems with the pins
working loose. Also it was not a smooth pedalling
action because of the angle. 
         Would be interested to have a look at the
restricted universal joint you mentioned. Has he a
website or any info on the internet?
