Konrads .. I ASSume? :)

Re: Mistress is getting different drives for spring
 

I am going with Konrads. I love the boat and I would like to take the element of drive failure out of the question. I will now be able to put on a 4-5 blade prop and not worry and I will be able to spin the motors up to 5400. The Trs Parts that I am selling on ebay are in excellent shape. Total of 75 easy lake hours, freshwater if anyone is intereted. I would also sell the whole group to somone that is on offshore and help with delievery.

I am going to get the Konrads in 2 weeks. Just in time for storage!

The Konrads are excellent. I have experienced 0 problems behind 800 Hp. No Worries, easy installation, post the height you install them at. 1.67 shorter or with spacers.

I was so happy with the Konrad product that I went to work for the company! :D

I've got 300+ totally trouble free hrs on mine so far. It's nice when you can just forget about your drives and enjoy boating.

The Konrad Concersion drives are shipping Friday, I am hoping for some more people to buy my TRS Parts. I have them priced cheap. They are all in excellent condtion. If someone needs a complete LH or Parts for the RH you can't go wrong. No Reserves

Make sure Lucky Strike (& LS Jr.) know what you are selling. I think their Great Adventure boat has TRS drives, and they may like spares.

Re: Mistress is getting different drives for spring
 

Thanks for the heads up but have never had the need for any spare parts...Never had a problem in the 10+ boats w/TRS drives.

Didn't think I was going to need to replace with Konrads this year either. Just cruising along at 3800 RPM and suddenly the REV limiter is being touched and NO GO. Suddenly I am selling the TRS's and going with Konrads. Parts are getting harder to find. Try finding good cases and original gears. Not the aftermarket knockoffs. Not to mention the companies that are cutting the replacement gears are a few of the parts are no where near as strong as the original mercury parts. The best thing to do is have a set of back ups and start hoarding parts. That's what i was going to do.

Could you say that about your bravo's?

Re: Mistress is getting different drives for spring
 

No, I can't but they haven't been as bad as we thought they would be. They have all the heavy duty IMCO parts & shafts. We got 100 hrs and 8 poker runs out of them and then we had a bearing failure in the upper. TNT just re-did them with everything brand new ( 8 hrs on them) and we'll go through them again in another 100 hrs.

Well, I did well on ebay. I sold all of the RH shafts, gears, carrier bearings, etc.

I still have the upper and lower case from the RH TRS in great shape Fully Rebuildable. Phantom Black top Poweder Coated Lower and a complete LH TRS Drive with 75 Hours. Guess nobody needed it.......yet. I will probably list it in the classifieds for a while and then put it on ebay again. Obviously make a package deal for a OSO member
