Getting there....

It feels like groundhog day around here.

Get up, go to boat, watch people pull my drivetrain apart.

At least we did not have to put her on the lift for the 3rd time this week.

Deny and Mark from Coast Diesel were on Shake N Bake bright and early and doing a differential diagnosis on the starboard vibration.

The measured the transmission output shaft (don't ask me how) and it is true.

The struts are good and the prop is good, which leaves the transmission to shaft connection.

Jim from Sheffield marine is going to be here first thing Wednesday to align the shaft.

Hopefully that will be the end to our bad vibrations.

Stay tuned...

Captain Mike

Here is a quick tip for your crew. When you hit something and bend a shaft, shut that one down. Will save a lot of money next time

Robert,

They shut it down in seconds.

The shaft broke, not bent, so no additional damage occurred.

It turns out a strut was put out of alignment when the boat hit whatever it hit.

Hopefully we will have it all sorted out this weekend.

Captain Mike
