Put in this afternoon at Eldred's, ready for a great gathering. about 200 yards from the ramp, something failed at the same time I put the throttle down to get on plane. No loss of power, but something failed in a big way, nasty noise coming out of the drive. I thought it was power steering at first, but its worse, maybe a major Ujoint failure. Bell housing? To the mechanic with it, I'm screwed.

For anybody interested in oysters, the bar is just west of 26 35.942N 82 11.239W, or 133 degrees, 2.6 miles from where you get all the way out of Terrys channel. Sorry I can't be there.

Dang dem consarned gimbal bearings - they screws things terrebul, n TerrE wul say "tol ya so..." And that Murph is a freakin a-hole...

That sucks Conner. Sorry to hear it. Hopin' it a minor evil but not sure that exists in the duo-prop world. Good luck with the repair. Hope someone gets a nice redfish off that bar.
