Also, didn't mention this earlier - but I swapped the original MCM228 out for a 5.7 (350 CI) reman ten years ago and was doing great until I sheared the engine coupling last week. Newer engine has 450 hours on it and I have always checked alignment when I had the drive off and greased the splines regularly. Each time the alignment seemed to be pretty well perfect as I could push alignment tool all the way in with two fingers and minimal pressure. That said, when it sheared last week I was heavily loaded with six adults and lots of gear. I'm thinking that certainly contributed to the failure. Plus, I run a stainless prop (no flexing with SS) and the newer engine has quite a bit of power (~270 HP) relative to the lame 305. Besides what I mentioned above, is there ANYTHING else you can think of that may have caused the coupling to fail? I had ten relatively good years but I for sure don't want to go through this again.

@@willytv275 being under heavy load I wonder if there's a weak spot in the stringers causes the engine to twist. They used these on big blocks before the bravo came out and still use them on the small block 350s with 260hp.

@@thestigmach1984 Hello and thanks for the reply. I wondered if maybe the engine is moving around some. However, I have tapped around on the flooring and the mount pedestals and all seems to be pretty solid. The boat is old obviously but has always been stored under roof and I open it up and let it dry out really well after each outing. I purchased some new rear mount bushings as those have never been replaced. I’m thinking that may be part of my problem. I plan to install them as soon as I get the engine out.

@@thestigmach1984 Hey, how are you doing today? Follow up to my last post - I’m expecting a new coupling to be delivered today. The one that failed was an aftermarket and this time I’m going back with OEM Mercruiser. Cost is twice that of aftermarket, but I want to get the best possible part. I’m planning to pull the engine this week and do the coupling swap. One thing to note, I did check my alignment yesterday and it is still spot on. Your comments regarding the stringers, do concern me, however. That said, since the alignment is still in good shape, I found that at least somewhat encouraging. Bottom line, I was overloaded and running a 21 pitch prop, which did not help matters. I should have switched to my 19 before that outing, or better yet, kicked a few people out of the boat. Please let me know if you have any other thoughts or advice…

Am I understanding right that the drive is removed from the boat? Sounds to me like ujoints but wouldn't make sense if it's removed. Unfortunately it sounds like it needs to come out and see what's banging around in there. Could it be low end knock? Hard to tell in a video.

@Arcturian1111 Жыл бұрын

Stern was off. It was a loose coupler. I had to order a new coupler because a few of the studs got compromised from it being loose and the coupler holes were eggshaped from the looseness and friction. I'll need 2 studs now to replace also. There not cheap in price.

Having also done this on a 1997, I can verify this is spot on info on how to do this. The only thing to add is - spending more on the part is well worth it. You get what you pay for - so if spontaneously stalling in moving traffic w/o warning gets you off, the cheaper brand part will make you giddy about your short-sighted frugality.
