    Mercury Pro XS Gear Case Crack

    Was at a derby yesterday and a buddy showed me an XS with a cracked gear case right at the rib in the casting. Anyone else seen this. Looked through the threads and didn't see any other posts.

    My 250hp V8 will be 3 years old in July. No crack in mine.

    Likely a prop/hub problem, or the prop contacted another object that resulted in the barrel of the prop contacting the case.
