I have just purchased a 1970 20hp Johnson outboard on a pontoon boat. I am breaking sheer pins at a riduculous rate. I have talked to someone at a marina who gave me a stronger grade of sheer pin. This new "stronger pin" broke in the first 5 minutes of operation. Does any one have any ideas about why this is occurrring or what I might try??

Thanks
