THE COUPLING GOES BECAUSE OF ENGINE MISALIGNMENT, EVERY TIME YOU REMOVE THE ENGINE OR THE OUTDRIVE, YOU SHOULD CHECK THE ALIGMENT WITH THE ALIGNMENT TOOL, IT NEVER HURS, BECAUSE THE PART ITSELF GOES FOR BETWEEN $150-$250.00 DEPENDING OF WHAT TYPE YOU USE (THERE ARE 2 DIF.
COUPLINGS) HOWEVER THE JOB TO REPLACE IS EXPENSIVE, SORT OF WHEN THE BACKSEAL OF YOUR TRANSMISSION START LEAKING, THE SEAL COSTS $10.00
BUT REPLACING IT COSTS $800.00.

HERE'S A TIP, IF YOUR COUPLING EVER GOES WHEN YOU'RE OUT, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND GET COOL "FRESH" WATER FROM YOUR COOLER AND POUR IT OVER THE COUPLING. WHEN IT COOLS YOU CAN GO AT LOW RPM'S
