!Check your motor mounts! They can be sheared through or very loose and look OK when not in gear. When you go to shift, the engine shifts on the bad mount(s) and shears the bolts.

The v-drive coupling bolts have sheared off 3 times and caused loss of power. Have been very careful to pause when changing gears. The westerbeak engine runs great throughout all this. The shaft removed and checked after the second time. The 2 bladed max prop sent back and rebuilt. New motor mounts installed by po when replacing engine. About 4 years ago (<200 hours on engine) coupling. Allignment done each time and found okay. I am looking for advice, suggestions, similar situations and corrections. HELP Losing confidence in boat.
