I just got a 1991 Sea-Ray 170. When I was out boating I hit a rock or
something and broke the Gimball Housing or something. When I took it
to the closest repare shop they just gave me a quote for $11,000. I
only paid $6000 for the boat. What am I missing? Why so much? Does
anyone know what else I can do? This is my first boat and I don't want
it to go down like this. I live in oregon and any ideas you could
share would be a great help.

The engin is a Mercruiser (Alpha Transom) 3.0 litre lx.


What is it with Mercruiser outdrives and rocks?

Second one in two days.

Must be the water.

Get it? Must be the water?

Or lack of
