Broke XR
Yesterday I was out in the boat. I came off plane, the idle sounded rough. Before I could even take a look, my alarms sounded. Open hatch, NO GEAR OIL!
Stiil idling in forward at the time. Seconds later, poof, felt like I put it in neutral.
Get boat home, Long story.....
I notice that one of the studs on the top cap is broke off.
I took the top cap off, nothing jumps out at me. When I turn the upper shaft, it seems smooth and quiet.
When I turn the prop shaft, it makes sound, sounds like it's coming from where the upper and lower meet.
What's is likely the issue?
Should I flush the drive out with anything? I plan on taking it somewhere ASAP to get looked at.
