Well on sunday we hit a pretty big log in the the dirty river. Herd the thunk but didnt thing much of it. Went out yesturday and after 4 hours of boardin... we were idle ... then put into gear and herd another thunk. Turns out it just spit out the shaft from the tranny coupler . We didnt hit anything yesturday. Anywho... Where do i find drive shaft for an 85 direct drive supreme????

Dude, rivers have been way bad. AM starts are the best. Less junk in the river. Try a merc' dealer for the shaft. May have something...

I've got pics, but I'm post-challenged. This site and the whole max file size thing.... Any tips on how to convert a 3.2 mega pixel file into something postable?
Nothing like boarding in the early morning mist...

The File format must be .jpg you should be able to use some sort of software that came with your camera... just open it with the software provided and when you save, change the format to .jpg

and lastly.... hook a brother up.... i can make morning runs... ill just be a bit late for work... nothing like going to work smelling like the ohio river......
