That is East Dover Marine..

I just took the pics from my truck and never got out to look but I think everybody is correct about it getting hit while being trailered, or maybe had a issue when on a fork lift/travel trailer,etc..All I know if that was me I would be very upset. If something like this happened in the water I guess it could sink rather quickly if the bellows hose got ripped off.

wow

I hit a submerged log in the murky upper Fraser River a few years ago. Wasn't going faster than 35-40 mph . What can be a real problem is if the input shaft pulls clear of the the bearing leaving a big hole . Either 3 or more high cap bilge pums needed or stuff some rag from inside in the bearing hole to keep water from coming in. Luckily my trim and steering rams
kept the shaft in the bearing as well as saving the bellows from ripping.

Wow thats what iam saying..if they pulled all the way out and ripped the bellows iam sure it wouldn't take long to sink a boat! Thank god in your case it was still hanging in there!
