Sorry to hear this.. what does the bearing surface on the gear look like? I take it this is the LH rotation drive?
|
left hand rotation is correct i take it this is not the first as imco is telling me

I still can't believe this broke??? Thats alot of money for drives to have one break, and Bill is very conservative with his boat never beats up on it. Hopefully the guys at IMCO make it right for you Bill, gotta get back in the water this season.

When my bravo drives fails I think I will stay away from these drives. |
Thats the first time I ever seen the upper gears from a SCX, what did they do just make everything identical to a Bravo but bigger right down to the cone clutches?
|
thats what they did but something let go top bearing
|
So sorry to hear àbout that. Those drives should be expected to last 500-1000 hours behind any properly maintained boat under 850 hp. Imco better man up and take care of you.
I bet there are other stories like yours but not everyone is on oso. There also are some good stories about this drive also. Just sucks there is no good answer for drives! |
