so I figure since I hang out here most of the time, ill let you know what a fun day I had. I had my out drive housings media blasted. they were corroded so I figured id paint them up nice. well while sanding out some gouges my upper fell and dented were the bellows go. the outdrive is apart so it dented the opening.....so I tapped it out. it needed a touch more an I broke it. its a mr1 but all the internals have been good except one bearing. my buddy has a spare housing but still I was bummed. dumb mistake. it is repairable lol. then I decided it was nice so I pulled cover off to vacuum some leaves that got in before winter and had water....no damage but still. man what a downer....jimmy
