Thanks guys. Gnarley, that sucks that it blew apart on you. Should'nt u-joints get a little noisy before they let go? Also, my father-in-law is a old timer boater and says to be careful with the OMC when starting it since the drive comes up so far. Make sure the drive is down to minimize the angle on the u-joints. You probably know this but just thought I would let ya know.
