I'm new to this site so thank you for any help or advice. I have a 1995 Four Winns. There was a burnt rubber smell and The coupler broke the day I bought it 2 years ago. Took it to a shop, cost $900 to replace. Took it out 1 time and burnt rubber smell, and smoke, and it broke again. Back to same shop...they hadn't aligned it properly..replaced it again no charge. Since then I've had the boat out about 25 times. I've smelled burning rubber 2 or 3 times..but it goes away and runs fine. Yesterday, was pulling a tube and when I stopped there was that smell and smoke in the engine comp. Smoke went away after a minute...and all ran fine again. I'm sure its the coupler again but what is causing that smoke? it runs fine..but I'm worried the coupler is now weak or damaged even though it runs good still? What should I do at this point? Thank you for any help. John

From the forum rules:

13. Please do not post multiple threads in multiple forums about a single problem. This is confusing to those trying to help you. Multiple threads in the same forum about the same issue is also confusing. If you want help fast, one thread in one forum is the best way to get it.
