So I did a thing. Broken drive shaft. Didn't hit anything. Went to pull up my buddy and it turned loose. Engine rpms spiked for a quick second.

When I first bought the boat (660 hours) I found that the 4 coupler bolts were loose. So alignment was checked and bolts were tightened. My shaft packing wasn't to tight because I have noticed it dripping a little more than normal (replacing the wax rope packing was on my to-do list).

Anyways, any tips on repairing this. It seems pretty straight forward. Once the vdrive is out and prop is pulled the drive shaft should be able to slide right out from inside the boat right? Will the fuel tank need to be removed. For anybody that has done this job I'd love to hear any tips. I'm about to start labeling hose connections, bolt locations and electrical connectors

This is a 2012 Moomba Mobius XLV (vdrive)
