Saw this on another forum. Hit something and broke the aluminum braket holding the motor. Hope this doesn't happen to any of the folks here with these type motors.

I hit a lot of stumps and what not with my old one and never came close to breaking the bracket like that..must have been full throttle and had his reverse spacer still in.

That blows, what did he do? From what I read, someone with an air-boat helped him pick the motor up and pulled him back to boat launch. Said he had insurance. Was running with the reverse locked. Apprently not a good thing for a mud motor.

I saw a Go Devil once that the guy just hadnt tightened the bolts down good enough that clamp it on to the transom and the motor almost came off! Would have sucked!
