Yes Sir, my ride is DOA. Found a used one for $500. this morning from a dealer in Albany. No warranty. Otherwise, I'm looking at $1,500. for a new one. My prop is also bent.
Have no idea when it happened. Have never hit anything hard enough for me to be concerned. Never had any problem with the unit out on the water. Discovered all this when I was checking the oil in the lower unit.

Gears, prop shaft and practically everything in it needed replacing. Pricing rebuild, it would cost me almost $2,000. I found a new one for $1,500. They are normally around $2,900.
Sucks big time.
The NADA on my motor is only $2,000.

I know you have folks that you can ride with, but I'd be glad to carry ya out with me. Could probably learn some good stuff. Send me a pm if you'd be interested over the next few weeks and good luck with your search.
