I run it hard, never really "airs out" its a Mistress LOL! I have Broken 1 upper SSM3 and 3 lower gearsets on SSM3 and now the lower gearset on my SSM3a. Always the RH drive, never have broken a LH anything!!!!!

Did you quote your own post ?? or is there a glitch in the OSO upgrade ^^^^^^ Your stating what the boat use to have in it ?

I agree with the weirdness of blowing a 3A. Beefy mo'fo's. I'd "set it and forget it" on my gun with 3a's, never worried about airing out really. Things ran like a champ.
From my understanding the SSM3's are closer to sizing to the TRS innards and the SSM4 is a shortened version of the SSM3, where the 3A is closer to internal sizing to the SSM6 and a SSM5 is a shortened version (lower) of the SSM3A. 3A's are well known for taking up to 1k HP. Speaking of airing it out with 3A's (love being able to post pics again!!) :D :D https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...02a80ec8de.jpg |

I have a line on a pair of 5s with a 3" spacer in them, I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried them on a boat like mine and if it would plane off or not, not really looking to go faster! |

You sure it's not a balance issue or alignment issue. Breaking same drive over and over again? Kind'a weird. |
Just do what I did put a notch in the hull . No biggy $1,000 bucks in materials and 5000 hours personal labor LOL .
And you get to work the fiberglass upside that's the real treat . RG. |

Just looking for different options at this point have broken several SSM3 and just broke an SSM3a, cant really raise the X any higher, hatches are already on the verge of too big!
