Ski did great previously, however while WOT the ski very suddenly lost all power, engine could rev but all I heard was a gut wrenching rattle/grind, quickly shut that down and swam to shore
Engine PTO boot to driveshaft was demolished (not sure why it would fail in this moment?)
Driveshaft splines were visible outside of the PTO
I took the pump off and was able to push the driveshaft about a quarter-to-half inch into the PTO, but the shaft would still spin freely by hand; only at odd angles and pressure would it begin to actually catch the PTO (barely)
My main question:
Is it more likely my driveshaft splines are stripped? Or my PTO? Or both?
I find it odd that this happened instantly and not at least somewhat gradually
Does anyone have an in-depth step-by-step on how to remove a 95' carrier bearing? Its much different than my 96' GSX and I'm having difficulty figuring out how it works
Once I can get the shaft out I can figure out which part is stripped

Bonus question: Since it is likely I will need to replace my driveshaft, is it possible to use a post 95' shaft (i.e. my 96 GSX shaft) and then be able to use the updated carbon ring and bellow assembly? The pumps seem identical to each other
