Re: Lost most of prop power
Ok, picked up boat this PM.
It was repaired when they said it would be. Seem to be competent and good guys in this shop.
Total Cost of coupler replacement was $1,500 including the replacement of the water circulation pump which was dripping from the weep hole.
I guess GM made a batch of pumps prone to failure, and I had one.
The starboard motor mount lower nut had backed down the stud. No stringer damage or damage from external force caused this alignment failure.
I bought the boat four seasons ago and received a copy of an invoice for the 100 hr service that year on this boat from the former owner.
Since we have only put 50+ hrs on the rig, I have not had the stern drive pulled.
Operator error!!!
Thanks to all for your help in understanding the problem.
