[QUOTE="jalockwood, post: 362432, member: 13522"] very true Kenny I could do that, im also going to have to get a quote on quite a serious repair as well :( I found my upper engine mounts to be broken putting serious load and wear on my shift shaft. and wouldn't ya know they happen to bolt through on the inside of the driveshaft housing....no good at all. from what im seeing a powerhead removal and engine removal from the boat will be necessary to remedy the broken mounts. pretty disappointing im fearing this repair to be in the high dollar range and idk how to make this sort of repair on my own....with proper tools not being on hand as well. The major issue I see is that if the shift shaft shears going down the water not only will I lose capability to select my gear from forward to neutral to reverse but that part alone is over 100$ used and almost 400$ new, not to mention the possibility of the lower mounts sheering off and the whole motor going right into the drink. ugh it just feels like a big slap in the face after seeing it all done and taking it out for the first time not knowing now if that repair is going to ultimately be too costly to make it worth the while.
