275 hrs. 500's or 1100's, doesn't matter. that is what i was told by brian jackson of offshore outdrive. i figured they would last a bit longer than that but they sure didn't !

Behind turbines you should be going through them at about 60 hours. Mine will be going down to Colabella this week and it's $1k in labor to tear down, inspect, NDT the parts, and rebuild. When you need gears or shafts it starts getting expensive.

prices are all over the board but for uppers, bearing and seals 8-15 ish. every shop is different and depending on parts that are obscenely overpriced i'm sure all quotes will be different
