Re: 4th of July Damage Report
I feel your pain Mitch. This is looking out my back window. My damage is the mufflers aren't working. And I don't know if I can get them fixed before Smoke.

My work schedule for the next 6 weeks is crazy hectic!!!
Suggestions anyone??

Re: 4th of July Damage Report
Knocked a rim ( tri-axle trailer with boat aboard ) on a left-turn curb-type traffic island. This action unseated the tire from the bead. Didn't have the right lug-wrench to change the tire on the spot, and had to drive it about 5 miles home.
Perfectly good tire is now RIBBONS. . . . like in a little girls hair. . . . lookin at about a buck thirty for new rim/tire.

I've been entertained for the last two days by reading a bunch of threads (while the boat is down 
) It's been great, a bunch of people have offered their help, their garages, and my friend C-Spray called us up and invited us out on their sweet Formula for today. We couldn't make it, but sure appreciate the offer!!
I also now feel fairly educated on the subject of drive couplers and am 100% sure that's what the problemo is
I'll call some places tommorrow and see if I can get someone to do it for me. If nobody can, I'll do it myself. I've read probably 40 different threads from a 'Tech section" search and I have all of the telltale signs of the ole "coupler blow-out" syndrome. Metal shavings @ the transom and the driveshaft doesn't spin when I start the engine. I guess that I'm a little bit late in greasing that BEEOTCH. 
Live and learn, right?Anyway, Thanks to all ....and the next time that someone around here has their boat break, I'll be giving you a call!
