I have a Mudbuddy 5500 with balanced drive / This past weekend i took the boat out for a ride and all of a sudden right where the end of the shaft is / where the thread starts on the shaft, breaks off along with the propeller. Now need a new propeller and propeller shaft. My shaft size is a 32" 7/8 inch Has this happened to any of you guys. |

Wells sounds like to me that pretty much is a replica of a gd!! So with that being the issue I'm sure it's pretty common for lower units to fail so often!! Robin we already know you carry more tools than any Gtr owner I know!! You might want to go order a new seal for that 100 hr grease job in that housing since theirs no other way to grease it!! |

Rare but it does happen. Normally not at the time of impact. Impacts over time cause them to go out. Do you run a lot of rocks? |

Doug a Gtr has a seal go out it's a lower unit problem. But if a gd has a seal go out it's not a lower unit issue!! Do a search on seals bud!! |

Yep he did. Also Hunter broke his PD shaft. If you hit shit over and over it will break I do not care what you drive. Robin have you ran swamp with stumps, logs, mud, and veggies? Hard on equipment. |

OP: check the casing on the LU. A bud a mine known as Marktank on here has a second LU due ta the 1st one cracking around the welds on the skeg and runnin around the shaft casing. He just got a new one and within 2 weeks the same things started again. |
