TRS parts ?
I have read here that Mercury is planning to stop production of TRS parts sometime this year. Is this true? Is there an official statement from Mercury, or has this just been a rumor?
I'm trying to decide if I should sell my boat before parts aren't available. I know about the Konrad 540, but I don't think that I want to spend around $20k or so for two drives and external steering since I don't have that either.
Is someone going to start making the parts (heard that one too)?

Re: TRS parts ?
When I was at the Miami boat show I had asked this question to one of the Mercury reps. He said by the end of the year, TRS parts will be discontinued.
...one the plus side, a decent used TRS drive is pulling decent $$ because they will be getting harder to come by.
After we installed the Konrad drives, I sold some of my TRS stuff (3 drives and t/a's) on ebay. So far I've collected $7500 and I still have one drive left.
That sure takes a bit bite out of the Konrad swap! And now you will never have to even think about your drives.
Yes, GLH. You can treat it like an ANVIL!!!

The Konrad 540 is the real deal. I can't break 'em!

Also if you are hammering the crap out the Konrads, what are you running for trannies / hp?
