I broke my drive coupler in the boat this weekend! Can or do any of you have tips or advice on what all parts should I go ahead change while I everything out like I know the coupler, gimbal bearing, seal, but what else or should I do?
Also I have not pulled the motor yet, but i did the drive and when I pulled the drive the gimbal bearing stayed on the shaft and came out with the drive anyone else have this happen? The boat has a 502 mpi with bravo one drive! Any help and parts list would be much thanks!

Yeah that's what I thought too, should take a little work to get it off but not here all of it sled right out wasn't expecting that to happen! I can't see to the eye any cracks in there but maybe I should remove the whole gimbal to have it looked at any thoughts?

I will! We was cruising along and hit a shallow sand bar (1' of water), to cause all this mess! Maybe I should have said that earlier! Everything else seams to be ok! I'm a little concerned about the transom though! Any thoughts?
