No, there are no signs of visible damage on the engine nor in the bilge area. There is no oil residue or burnt rubber anywhere to be found. There is definately forward movement from the boat. Would the lower cable being out of adjustment be a more likely scenario than the coupler given that the movement didn'e cease completely?




regal here is a pic of your coupler compared to a alpha 1 coupler. the alpha coupler survived 4 lock ups behind my 7.4 and 22 years of service. and that just what i know about it. as you can see the bravo coupler is much heavier duty.
I'm not saying you cant have a coupler problem but i think your cable is still the first choice for your problem. hope this help. all of the opinions are based on guess work here.
