2004 225ho Lower Unit Problem

[beaveflipper]

I have got a 2004 225ho D.I. While running a creek I have been thru countless times,I hit what was probably a lone standing tree.I had just put the hammer down and BOOM! The motor shut off instantly. I trimmed up,checked the skag,housing and prop and everything looked fine.It started right up but even with SEA-STAR, I could feel the dreaded shimmy.Made it back to the ramp and after getting it on the trailer,I spun the prop with my finger and could see the wobble.Just wondering IF no housing or prop damage,could the prop shaft and some seals be all I tore up? Momma wasnt real keen about me going fishin anyway so I am trying to convince her and myself this might not be TOO bad! Thanks guys.

Thanks for the plug Mike, I owe ya! All may be O.K. with the L.U. internals, but you do need to get " straightened out. " This will cause additional problems if left unattended.
