Just picked up a new Sportmaster lower for my 300x yesturday. Last night when pulling it from the box it has a one piece drive shaft.
The ones that came with the boat are 2 piece with a coupler.

What is the difference? Is the one pices going to work for me or should I send it back?
Most of the drives Ive seen before mine were one piece so Im wondering why Merc used the 2 piece with the 300X.

better go ask your screaming fly buddies.. your not one of us anymore....

Don't mind him. Steczy is just mad because he needs 600hp per doggy to get on plane and all of his friends (both of them) have to keep slowing down to wait for him.

Don't know the exact reason for it but I encountered the same thing with my fleetmaster cases. Originally they were two piece. I replaced one and it was one piece. Works just fine. I was actually concerned about the two piece the first time I brought it down to replace the water pump. I had never seen that before. So you should be ok.

dont tell him its ok.. tell him its all wrong and mercury fu-ked you again.. he is really starting to become a mercury suck ass.. flags and banners hanging all over the garage, bags, cups.. i told him if he wants to keep paying 300 for some zincs and bolts keep buying their t shirts and coffee mugs... i knew tantrum was a company suck ass, but i have to put a stop to this....
