Please help guys .... Last year I beached my boat and from the looks of things I only bent the prop. So after replacing the prop and running the boat I didn't seem to have anymore problems until last week. The driveshaft broke inside the coupling where it connects to the V-drive. I've removed the g-nut bearing and all the clamps but cant seem to get the shaft to slide out. I'm worried that the strut may have gotten bent and the shaft wont slide out. Anyone have any suggestions? Couldn't find any videos showing how to remove the shaft and I've never done it. Am I just missing a step?
