[QUOTE="drivenmarine.net, post: 304688, member: 971"] Day one of a lake tournament this year, we decide to move and make a fairly long run. About halfway through, we are running around 61mph, I decide to bump the trim button to see if she'll do a little more. All of a sudden she rattles and comes off of plane. Put the motor back in gear and it revs, but doesn't move. My buddy walks to the back and says "I smell grease". My first thought is man, am I still under warranty? It's been around the three year mark of the boat being new. Trim it up to investigate. Try to get the prop nut off, but the shaft turns when holding the prop. I'm thinking good, hub kit stripped. Search through the boat looking for the spare hub kit I should have had in there. No luck. Limp into the bay on the kicker. An official from the tourney comes and meets us at the dock and my buddy runs up to the pickup to get the spare prop. By the time he gets back I have the old one off. Slap the new prop on, thank the tourney guys, and away we go. Got lucky especially after what we originally thought the problem was. The grease on the splines must have gotten hot giving us our lower unit failure smell. Always something interesting happening on the water or in the field. [/QUOTE]
