I was inspecting my coupler before installing and discovered this (see pic)

NOOOOO WAAY is that going to hold up to the new V-6 :rolleyes:

Previous owners mechanic must have skipped some parts of the 200HR tune up. Like engine alignment and Merc Spline Grease (Moly)

Surely my little 454 did not do THAT :rolleyes:

BTW: OE coulper uses an aluminum spline?????
Poodle is helping me switch to steel :smash:

I found one of the ones that is suppose to be for the 500Hp and up on Ebay almost brandy new $175, it has a long snout and a very thick rubber pack, I was going to use an inboard HD flex plate same setup as a local uses hooking a loaded 540 to a Bravo. He runs solid mounts and has been hammering that setup for about 3 seasons, he said the rubber ones just did not last. But he likes the one I got, says if he breaks his setup he may try one like mine.
