Unhappy Tough Night on the River

JMK's and my schedules finally allowed for a ride together tonight, but things didn't work out so well...

First, JMK's battery was dead...

Big Block jumps Small Block...

This was a bad omen.

This is my view heading back to the marina...
I did get a shot of our speed on the gps.
Drive coupler let go 5 min. into our run...
I guess someone did not install my new engine mount correctly.

Ah man that sux ass... who installed the mounts? That happened to me last 4 of july.. I packed the boat up for a 2 day stint, invited friends down. Didnt even get to the bug light. I guess the mount nuts got loose somehow. I called JC, but no dice, out of pocket for dutrasystem.
Sorry Pat..

I have to check the alignment.
Ocean Performance did the install.

I am assuming I will need to install the new one first ZZ.
Talk to my friend that has a garage with an I-beam.
Pulling it Friday night...
Just got quoted $380 for the coupler from Ocean Performance.
Anyone got a mail order sight I can get one cheaper?
