Condition

Used OEM condition with normal signs of previous marine use.

The coupler shows surface rust, oxidation, paint loss, grease residue, staining, scratches, scuffs, and other cosmetic wear consistent with previous installation, removal, and storage.

The mounting flange and internal splines appear complete, with no obvious cracks or major structural damage visible in the metal components. Normal age and wear are present on the rubber isolator.

Because this is a used drivetrain component, the rubber isolator, internal splines, mounting flange, and mounting holes should be carefully inspected before installation.

Please review all photos carefully for the exact condition.
