They replaced the driveshaft due to corrosion and said it was owner neglect. It was funny because DCB did all the maintenance. They replaced the shaft and parts for free. I just had to pay for labor.
It sounds like Merc needs to be making shafts out of a different metal. Like Ti!

Boatmaster:
When you say replaced shaft, are we talking prop or driveshaft? Did the shaft fail do to corrosion on the sealing surface or did it snap. Tobtek if your prop shop or dealer will not let you try a 500 to $1200 prop before you buy it, call me any prop I have in stock I will send you and let you try it. Are single engine Mach22 running coppers or cleavers?not sure what the hot setup is yet. from all that ive seen the single 300 boats have choppers, alot with venting holes in them. and the twin 2.5 boats almost all have clevers. haven't got mine yet so I dont know. I will for sure be in contact with you for prop's when the time comes...
