Finally have notification that dealer now has all the parts.
They will build up a full new DP drive, then I take my boat in for it to be fitted, includes engine removal.
Unfortunately the date I have been given is 2 months from now, still it’s good to have a datE.

In 2021 I waited April to September for a gear set for a VP duo-prop to come from Sweden.

It’s over a year for me …. if job is completed as planned, it will have been 15 months.

I would still go through the bonding in the boat with a fine tooth comb.

I have a block in the back of the engine bay where everything comes together.

OP - is your boat on a trailer, rack, slip?

Dealer initially said electrolytic corrosion due to bonding error - when moored.
When I explained it’s never been moored, all went quiet ….it’s used in salt water, fully washed down and flushed after every use.
They submitted report to VP, and they advised they will replace whole drive assembly.

It would be nice to get a post-incident report, not sure if I will though.
