Engine coupler replacment poll...
While you have your engine(s) out to replace or rebuild do you worry about replacing the coupler(s) between the flywheel and your outdrive?

If you have one w/aluminum splines they should be replaced no matter what because they sometimes strip suddenly with no real warning,Smitty

Been there... and although it did happen suddenly, I was running the piss out of it in some rough water the previous two hours of running time.

If you have the opportunity to change the coupler out, I would go ahead and do so.

Nope, I sold it. I miss having my own boat alot, but I get out pretty much whenever I want on friends boats. Kinda nice not having a payment and still getting to be out there.

Re: Engine coupler replacment poll...
I did this last spring after I stripped one out, I replace both at the same time with the HD's and there is a huge diff. You won't go wrong getting the HD's!!!

Re: Engine coupler replacment poll...
I have heard the extra thickness/depth of the HD couplers spline makes engine to drive alignment even more crutial. I.E. if it isn't correct the splines wear worse or faster? Is this true?
