where's all the Arneson guru's ? Anyone know of any repeatitive issues (or so my buddys been told) with the chain driven drive ? Was told that the oil needs to be changed every 12-15 hours in order to keep the bearing on the drive chain well lubed so the chain bearings dont fall apart and pop the drive
Has your buddy called Rik @ Arenson about this issue? Seems Rik would know. 12-15 hours interval seems a bit short, I plan on changing my drive oil every 25 hours right along with the engine oil.
Hope this helps.

UPDATE !!!
Unfortunately a local repair center has misinformed the boat owner. After multiple conversations with Rik (AWESOME GUY IF YOU'VE NEVER SPOKEN WITH HIM) this is being resolved and it appears that the previous owner "MAY" have changed gear ratios and installed the gear sets incorrectly.
RIK THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTENCE IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER !!
