Anybody have Coupler Problems?
I hear a lot about people breaking drives (I have too), but this weekend I blew a coupler. The boat was not sitting up all winter, sorry you northern guys. I was just wondering how many of you have had this problem. Thanks for the input.

A Bravo coupler failure? Unheard of!!!!! Just kidding, probably #3 behind blown uppers and loose gimbal rings.
Very common, keep engine aligned and grease it and it will last somewhat longer.

I agree with gary, If you pull the drive once a year check alinment, grease the shaft , change the drive oil your problems will be far and few.
