There are two kinds of boaters, those who have hit a log and those who are going to hit a log. >From experience I can tell you your insurance company will cover this under >the collision section, subject to the deductible, and they may pay you ACV >(actual cash value) instead of RC (replacement cost).

Only way to find out is haul it and see. The shaft will have to be pulled from the boat to be sure. It can look straight and not be. Insurance will cover it. If you have a second engine, don't run on the damaged side. Running with a vibration like that can damage the transmission as well. Figure on replacing at least the rear transmission seal along with everything else.

To: "UnifliteWorld" <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, March 15, 2009, 6:29 AM I hit a log last night when we were out in the boat for dinner and now the starboard engine is vibrating. Is it likely that I bent the shaft, the prop, or both?
