Angry TRS drive

I decided to winterize the Mistress a month early here in North Carolina. Temps 65, water slick, decided to burn off last 50 gallons of fuel before storage. On the third WOT run at 75mph blew the port drive. Idled about half mile back to docks. Loaded boat, can't turn prop on drive. You can hear metal to metal sound in top of gear case while trying to turn prop byhand. Hope I didn't screw up a transmission or coupling. I'm tired of pulling engines. Will pull drive next weekend. At least I had a good summer with out any big expenses. Now I have a few months to figure out what to do next about drives.

Konrads are an excellent upgrade for your TRS. Alot of people have recouping alot of the upgrade when they sell the TRS parts.

Let me know if I can help with pricing or literature.
