What other than the bellows kept the drive from falling off completely?

Mine was held on by one trim cylender and the hydraulic steering ram. My ujoint exploded whne the drive came off. The bellows never got damaged. I had no water comeing in.

Pure FM I guess? :grinser010:
Nope can't use JB Weld or JC Perf Duct tape, but I do have both in my tool boxes. :D

No hull damage but so far this repair is very close to 20K. Totally and paying the boat off might be a good thing but I would really rather have it fixed right and enjoy the ride.

Its a two day job for a complete change out. We do change outs when ever the customer does a complete repower. Anything longer than that you're getting screwed. Just ask ED COZY. He is a marine surveyer and he will tell ya the same thing..

Today I talked with the claims adjuster and it looks like I might get a complete setup from the coupler on back; all new coupler, transom, gimbal, complete new bravo 1, and new prop.

It might take a couple of weeks to complete this but the Claims Adjuster seemed to think this was the way to go.

Meesa Happy now. :cool-smiley-026:

Who is your insurance carrier ? sounds like they are going to be hassle free on this ( :hitfan: ) and Im looking for an insurance company for my next ride
