Yeah, thats funny, but who knows what his reserve is. Might be worth a bid or two to test the waters. The Toby approach.....

Imco must be real proud of the carrier because The Bravo Shop sells just the shaft for $650. :idea:

I'm not sure about their break- in period.
But if were only gonna get 75 hours out of them then its not gonna include
10 hours of slow time..
Atleast not in my boat. 10 hours is like 2 trips.. I dont think i could hold back that long.
All I have ever done is go out, shift it 5-10 times and then cruise for about 1/2 hour then stab it.

Yeah, I usually break mine in that way too. But, I'm wondering if that is one reason they are only lasting 75-90 hours.

Well if I had to make a guess I would say no.More like this is the reason why your breaking gears and shafts....LOL

hulshot tells me its how they set up your drive.some places know the little tricks of clearence and shims as opposed to just throwin them in. Ijust had my drive gone thru to the tune of 2200 bucks added a big prop shaft. so we will see how long it lasts. im not aware of any trick stuff done to mine, so now im worried a little with the extra hp im throwin at it

racer your killin me. I thought your break in time was from the dock to when you cleared the slow zone??? what am I doing wrong :hammerhea
