    Not again!

    Got my boat back after nearly 3 months for trailer repair ( Axle broke off ). Took it out to the Delta and was fishing a bank with a very strong current. The motor lodged in some rocks. Trimmed the motor up and it came loose and I kept fishing. Didn't realize what happened until I loaded up later. Is this fixable or do I need to purchase new? I sent it to insurance already. We will see what they say but can this be repaired?

    I don't have the broken part. It is in the False River in the California Delta.

    Please take a moment to review the Announcements at the top of the Forum, and be sure to provide the REQUIRED info when posting. Thanks!

    That's a housing replacement, right there. Very dense object lodged between prop and ventilation plate (or the ventilation plate came down on top of a very dense object).

    Time to contact a dealer for estimate and then your insurance company.
