Legalish advice

Hi sorry to bore you but I'd be grateful for further advice about my post of yesterday headed Shaft Coupling.

Thanks

Its pretty difficult as nothing can be proved, my guess is the most likley cause of failure is something fouled on the prop, I have direct knowledge of a gearbox pulled off of a 1000hp engine and P bracket pulled out of a steel hull from fouling, so the forces are huge. The coupling could possibly have been the weakest link.
Any insurance claim against a company or product needs proof that it or they were at fault, but it could be worth checking with your insurers, I was covered on damage caused by debris on my last boat.

Good luck
