I happened to switch props for the weekend and noticed some slop in the fit between the hub and prop on one. I would think that could act like a kind of slide hammer on the end of the shaft and cause failure somewhere. Just and FYI to check them for a tight fit.

Man, what a fun summer. Got what I wanted... an outdrive that would last, and was trying to hit 100hrs for the summer....but blew the motor tryin to get there!! 85hrs on the Konrad and my tired old 540 cried "uncle" .. Finally got a GPS on board to see actual speed, but ended up adding a skylight to piston #7 instead.........Summer's now officially over.
Was gonna rebuild for more power this winter anyway....
So, anybody got a spare 8-71 huffer ?? :-)
