^^^ That was the sole reason I bought the MB becasue of the dealer and thank goodness I did do that because they were able to fix a few things on it already. It's been back to the shop about 4 times already. MB better be thankful for their dealers too. Without them taking all the egg on the face MB would be out of business! Maybe that's their business plan. Who knows.

Hey you got a 32" drive? I'm wondering why they got holes in them now. I thought they quit doing that. but my new one has them just like yours. wonder if that's part ofthe problem? mines got less than 4 hrs on it and I looked the other day cuz I heard a tick noise. sure enough fucking bolt rattled out of exhaust already and blew out gasket. stupid. luckily I work around enough of these Damn things to keep extra parts . but that's bullshit

That was the 32" drive. Dealer replaced it with another 32" drive without the holes.

Ever mud buddy I've seen has had a cracked skeg. There's one thing I know, to build a quality product you gotta have the right materials to start with. If not you get this shit right here

Post Re: MB Owners - Check Your Skegs
It is funny how differently everyone feels about one motor to the other. I think Barnes said it best earlier. Having a good dealer is important. Especially if you can't make it to the manufacture. A good dealer can make your experience great regardless of brand.
I also think sometimes broken parts are 100% operator fault. If you beat the shit out of something, eventually it will break.
