So I know basically nothing about Prop Shaft releases. I've seen a few threads about them and they all seem to have handles by the gear box which I'm assuming is to lock the shaft back in after it's disengaged? I'm thinking of putting one in a boat with a floor in it, so provided the above is true is there a way to re engage the shaft without having to pull the floor panel up every time ? Also I've read a few threads that basically say they won't allow a boat to go in reverse?

Any and all info is helpful ! Thanks !

The lever is for going in and out of gear manually, the release is a ratcheting device that is always engaged so no worries on having a floor.
