Just before hitting the Gulf Stream, on a windless day while motoring gently at 1500 rpm when my world turned upside down. The cockpit floor started shaking and the most horrendous grinding noise coming from under the binnacle…I stopped the engine, and went back in my bunk for some thinking. What could that have been? I put a Gopro on a boat hook and checked the prop to see if I had snagged a fishing line or something. All looked good underneath. I opened the engine hatch, all looked ok, I opened the cockpit access hatch and looked at the shaft, all was well, the shaft was not overheating. I started the engine again and it ran fine. I put it in gear and all sounded normal.
