I have Volvo Duo-Props on my Scarab and was inspecting things after I pulled it out Tues. night and seen parts hanging. The big covers that hide the trim actuators are lovingly called elephant ears and they connect under the drive where they broke in half. I have no idea what happened. It's cast aluminum and kinda thick and if anyone around Bradenton does some welding it would probably cheaper to go that route instead of buying the part. Thanks , Scream and Fly always comes through.

I have dou-prop on my cruiser. Those parts are thick. You need to find out why they broke before you fix them.

The only thing I can think what could of happened is when putting my drives up they can hit the swim platform and maybe when it did it busted. Thanks Ryan , I'll call him now.

Happy Hour is over and I had my share. I tried calling Rich and got the answering machine. Is he open on Saturday? I have to work most of the day anyway.
