What's one of the main reasons for a lower unit to blow up? We thought it was one thing and discovered something completely different .... wouldn't have guessed 😱!

You’re right about the fun and destination… Matt and I need to learn this lesson. We are always in a hurry because this is a customer paying! When we get our project boat done then we can hopefully enjoy the ride.

that sucks. Sorry Matt. I appreciate you posting the video you could have not even show us. I have been there. Had a volvo pente gas inboard break a belt. Installed a new belt and the motor was still running hot with an alarm. Completely flushed the raw water system, changed the raw water pump, had the heat exchanger and oil exchanger cleaned. only to find out that the belt was the incorrect belt. It was too tight. Just got to love to love it
