The motor is having the gear case replaced and I believe a new lower unit too.
So far no $$ out of my buddies pocket, but until he is indemnified, i'll hold off on saying all is well, and the warranty covered it.

Sandman, this guys runs the boat and fishes like every day is his last, might be a good thing, if he didn't run so hard, this issue may not of surfaced until the warranty expired.

Ron - I asked another Yammi dealer about Jacks motor, and the first thing he said, was it's very rare to see gear cases go, but they also thought a 17 pitch prop was undersized.
I think he got a $17K lemon, I just hope he gets it back in the water quick. Poor guy is like a kid who lost his dog.
