Why not just call the friggin guy and see what you can work out w/ him. You may find out it IS just a shackle failure and he would be happy for you to pay for a shackle and a diver to put it back together. 2 bills max. But you won't know that until you talk w/ him, apologize and admit...
I'm in. I also have a new to me 1988 340 DA well preserved by 2 previous owners. I have not noticed the pc. in your photo, but will certainly check it out. Hope we didn't get shafted.......

My first post. Have been reading for some time and can't resist a sunset. All the other pics are great, but, IMHO, you can't beat a Lake Champlain sunset!
