After the epic failure had occured and I changed my boxers, we still decided the do a little fishing. Even though it was obvious that I had a little problem..

Yep, she's taking on water. Not un-fishable, but not good. Nothing the bilge pump can't handle until I get the boat patched (assuming it can be fixed)


But once I hammered into the ole merk and get to running pretty good, problem #2 decides that my day hadn't been memorable enough already..

Notice the curb to the right of my lower unit just below the prop. Yep. The boat pulls so hard to the right at full speed that if I were to let go of the steering wheel, I honestly think that the boat would flip instantly.

I almost went to beating and prying on it but then I decided that I would ask you guys what I should do. Anybody experienced with something like this? Or should I just let a pro handle it. Last thing I need to do is buy a new lower unit.
