I am in the process of closing on a 2006 340DA. During my research I came across the below blog entry on this site. I have not been able to find any other information about it on this forum or Google.

My question is.... is this real? If so, where can I find more information about the advisory and more importantly, how can I tell if this repair has been done? Is it as simple as looking for the couplers on the shaft?
Thanks for any input.
There was a safety advisory sent to dealers in August 2006 concerning shaft problems.It stated that dealers were to contact all owners of boats listed on the advisory list and install couplers on the shaft to prevent the shaft from possibly exiting the boat.Check with your dealer to see if your boat is on the list and see if these were installed. The safety advosory was not done on my boat and the shaft did break and exit the boat may miles offshore in deep water. We are currently in litigation with the dealer and the manufacturer. If you had your boat fixed by Searay (after you signed their waiver that our lawyer strongly advised us not to sign), it was not done out of "goodwill" as they liked to call it but to prevent litigation due to a mechanical issue.
