Well I can say that getting to those zirks on the coupler is a total PITA. Good to know that alignment should be checked, maybe I'll put that on my list of things to do. I want to replace the gaskets in the top end of the outdrive at some point, just due to age more than anything else, it certainly doesn't have any water intrusion problems. probably should have done it when I split the case but didn't have the parts on hand do it. Eh put it on my list of things to do this fall for winterization. Ice is disappearing to quickly to think about doing anything other than spring cleaning, fresh wax and loading it up for the season. Looks like another year of being able to fish the entire lake come April 1st. Matter of fact at this rate the water temps should be warm enough for the fish to be a little more active than usual. All good stuff IMHO. Just not looking forward to paying to fill the gas tank!
