Well, have 8 hrs on a new set of xr's with pinion gear failure... not having the warm fuzzy feeling... lol
BTW, they were cryo'd too.... one drive gear was pitted, the primary's were fine.... both drives had same problems... merc is covering them but not sure if we want to tear down every 8 hrs...

How about using the new Imco SCX set up? It will work with the Bravo Transom assemblies, you just need to swap out the helmet. They are rated for quite a bit more than what your 575's should throw at them.. If they may interest you feel free to contact me.. Jamie / Lakeside Restorations

Sounds vaguely familliar to what I had happen a couple
of years ago , although one of my driven gears
started to chunk out too. ( they were a brand new set also)
If and when mine crap out again, I think I'm
going to try the helical type ( X/XZ)

Any experience with the Billet marine XR uppers with there Imco billet lowers ? This is our solution for our build this winter and wondering about others experience with them.
