Default burning clutches?

i have a omc king cobra outdrive. i was having shifting problems with it. i now know why i was having shifting problems. i have a burned out clutch. now my problem is, i just replaced the clutch last year at the end of the season. the clutch only has about ten hours on it. why am i burning up clutches. the outdrive is a 1990 with a cone clutch. if anyone has any clue of why i burned up this clutch so fast please let me know so i can put this boat in the water.

I heard that with the OMC outdrive, if you do not use 100% synthetic gear oil, you may create a problem.
