The two times it happend I was more than ten miles off the beach, hit a log floating just under the surface. The impact broke the shaft and I lost the rear of the shaft and the wheel, no hull damage, because I was up on place, almost no boat in the water. Ironically, both times the struts were fine, I must have hit the prop behind the strut.
Eben, they aren't ahanging where the engines are mounted just the drive system, the engine mounts just in front of the drive.
