Well I felt really stupid when I was going full throttle in my pontoon in an area known for low water which I thought was just a little farther away from me. Then wammo my motor hit ground. Shut it off looked at prop, all mangled up. Started it up to try and limp back to the dock and got no prop movement and no water out the pee hole. Well it was a long ride back just on the trolling motor.
I investigated further when I got home and found my drive shaft broken.
Well anyway I was thinking of replacing the driveshaft or just replace the whole lower unit with a good used one. What years and hp are compatible with my 2001 40hp 2cyl model 1041412yd ?? It is a long shaft.
Will a lower unit from a 2003 4 stroke work?
Oh btw I my prop was practicaly new from last year. A turning point hustler. I thought these props are suppose to give way when you strick something in the water too protect your engine?
Anyway I am a looking.
