The work was done in March of 2018. I did not specify to the repair shop that I wanted OEM (my mistake...or I guess I'll see as time goes on). During winterization this past fall, from close observation in the back of the boat, I thought I could see a wobble in the coupler. I pulled the OD this winter to get a look at things. I got a good look at the splines with an inspection scope and was pleased to see they looked perfect after two seasons (110 hours). Checked alignment, all looked good. So maybe I've dodged the bullet for now. I'll keep it greased and aligned and do my OD pulls regularly and hopefully I'll get many seasons out of it. Just posted because I had always heard of Sierra, GLM, etc. but never EMP as an aftermarket supplier. Thanks for the reply.
