Post Gator Tail Cracked Shaft Help
Last weekend I noticed a small crack in my shaft behind the prop and in front of the seal. I stuck a shim down it and measured the depth to 1/16.
I let it ride for the weekend and the motor performed without missing a beat.

Ive been running a GT 3 blade with a lot of load recently, if that matters.

Is this something I should be worried about or has anyone else seen this before?

Thanks

Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Get it fixed. It would suck to have that get worse when you're trying to use it.
