Hey fellas I have a 2012 Swomp Ss 35hp and it currently has a bent shaft right below the bottom bearing. It's actually on it's 2nd bent shaft having replaced the original right after I bought the motor in 2012. Its been a pretty good motor for me having no super major issues with it other then the 2 bent shafts and the original cav plate cracking due to the first shaft being bent I believe. I was considering going for an upgrade to the new 37hp Swomp lite version mainly cause I thought I heard the shaft size was stepped up along with going away with the u-joint. Any input would be nice especially from a pro staff member and anyone that has a new 37lite currently. Any speed gains/ known or just discovered issues/ likes or dislikes. Thanks Brent |

Frank posted his experiences recently. Do a quick search, shouldn't be hard to find. So backwater never had any insight into your issues from last fall when you brought up the bent shaft the first time? #CFFITR #TheGhostBoat #whoneedsphysicsihaveamudmotor |

No not really...to be honest I never really bugged them about it last fall... I'll have to give them a shout this week and drop it off next week when I drive thru to head to ND. See what they have to say. |

I can't imagine them not being of help, after the interactions I have with them. And I've never given them a dime of my money, so its not like they have any reason to help me with anything. Good luck. #CFFITR #TheGhostBoat #whoneedsphysicsihaveamudmotor |

I think that upgrade is merited. The EFI is cool, love my 26.5 and the starting and low idle. No U-joint and a beefier shaft sounds like the ticket... |
