Last year I noticed a grinding noise coming from the rear of the engine. Limped the boat back to the trailer drove home and winterized her and put her in the garage for the winter. Upon teardown found that all three corners where the coupler mounted to the flywheel were cracked. I ordered a replacement coupler, but before installing, was wondering if there was a cause that needs to be looked at or if it is normal for a coupler to fail. The boat is 13 years old, and sees moderate use every year. ?? Brian
