i need to change the oil in the boat and change my drive line, at about 3200-3600 it would growl then go away. i am not sure if it's the shaft or the angle i set the motor :banghead: i put a shaft in that didn't need a pto because i wanted all the interior room i could get.
we got the motor out

then set about to remove the shaft

i stared to chisel it out but that was getting me now where O0 :banghead: these are grade 8 bolts so drilling them is next to impossible. i dont have a torch to melt the lock tite so i stick the drill in there and build up some heat, and walla

If it's not one thing it's a friggen 100, how straight is the DL? I cheat, I set the motor dead on then raise the front of the motor a tad (tad= 1/4"-1/2") I have a couple of drive shafts I made that don't have U-joints, they're a piece of pipe welded to the splined and pto yokes, but dead on straight. Glad you got it out, that had suck written all over it...
