Merv the Magician at the Mountbatten Boat House found 2 bad bearings in the transmission, found them locally (he says that never happens...possibly 1 but never everything you need) and put the tranny back together on Monday!
We put it back in Tuesday, a trick envolving lines, winches, block and tackle and stolen lumber...you get the picture.
I'm no mechanic, but desparation is the best motivator and I got the son-of-a-bitch back in (hey, that's tame compared to what Armando was exposed to), aligned the shaft as best I could and things appeared to test out (we were limited by the mooring ball).
One of these days we will go off the mooring for a day trip and hopefully prove out the fix, but I've great confidence that the issue is now behind us!!!
