    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.

      @@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…

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.
