Need a part!

[aadecaro]

Anyone around Cap Sante Marina with a spare thruster coupling they are willing to part with? Part number SM175029. For an R31-CB. Sucked a line into my forward thruster

Let me know $$!!

Are you sure the coupling failed, rather than the shear pin?

Yup. That coupling is PVC , or some version of it, and there is a little 1/4in piece that fits into the prob shaft. That is what gives way instead of the sheer pin. I got the parts on order but it’ll be a number of days until we get them. In the meantime I found a way to get it going. The only good news is that it is the bow thruster and not the stern. Way easier to get to.
