    Do you think this scrubbed speed?

    The importance of proper engine alignment. (And the carbon ring went right after!)

    Did that do any other damage? Hopefully you didn't sink, or weren't alone?

    I'd rather have that then what I'm looking at right now.

    After MB III when I blew a c-clip, I installed a bilge, so there was no sinking involved. Drivetrain was getting louder/rougher the last few rides....I should have seen it coming!

    What do you have going on?

    I heard alot of people are running the 2-peice shaft, but I think they meant something different than this...

    2 piece? Try like 20 piece! We had to use a magnet to go fishing in the shaft housing!

    What kind of bilge did you install? I didn't think anything short of a commercial pump could move the kind of water a failed carbon ring would allow in.

    Luckily, the ring didn't totally disintegrate. It didn't completely give way like normal. I was under tow pretty quickly with in-line pinched off. It was cracked though and ultimately fell apart in my hands once removed. Atwood 500gph is all I've got.




    Oh yes, now I remember. What a mess you do have. Best of luck with your journey back.
