Today while riding across the lake we heard a loud thunk. I looked for log or something else, but could not find anything. I swam under and checked prop, rudder, fins etc., no signs of any damage. However, when I lifted the rear seat and looked at the bilge area imediately in front of the transmission, I saw a bolt on the floor. It has a black painted head, and is roughly 3/4 inch long, however it clearly sheared off. The threads are brass. I felt all around and could not find any empty bolt holes ont he transmission or as far up the engine as I could feel. She ran fine going back, although it seemed there was a slight vibration that might not have been present before. My dealer is 3 hours away and I have heavy boating weekend plans for the next two weekends. What do you guys think I should do? This is an 06 LSV, 40 hours on the clock.
