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

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

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..

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