I guess you're saying that it happened while trailering; if so going around a corner and hitting a center median or curb would explain it - no damage to trailer, hull or other drive. Also the turning velocity of the drive with the axle(s) being the pivot point imparts a lot more force to what's being pivoted (the drive). Keep us posted. -Jeff
