I was backing off the trailer when it broke.  I have not hit anything with this boat yet.  There are no signs of impact anywhere on the nozzle at all.  I think that what may have happened was that the diverter relay that keeps the nozzle down might have failed and allwoed the nozzle to snap to full up while I was applying power to back off the trailer.  Not sure about any of this though because I didn't hear/feel and thing that sounded or felt like to nozzel hitting the up stop.  Who knows....

These are the broken parts;
