Very Happy Drive Owner!
 
Changed my drive oil yesterday ( Torco RTF ) 32 Hours fluid came out looking as if I had just put it in. I love my IMCO SCX drive !!!! Looking forward to another season of not worrying about blowing up my drive . WOO HOO!!!!

I agree with that. 3 seasons on mine, no issues at all. Just change the oil and go.

HI Gaz-- need some advice

I have a Bravo III - I just installed a drive shower. I am absolutely paranoid regarding sealing to prevent water infiltration. When I put the top on, I didn't touch the top cap- I removed each bolt and very carefully put the shower cap on and then re-torqued the bolts - as directed in the instruction to 30 ft lbs.

Is there something else I should have done?


Thanks

Sorry 3point I'm probably not the one to be asking. That sounds like a good job you did to me. Since you didn't break the seal I think you are fine. Maybe someone who knows better will chime in.

Installing new scX as we speak. Hope to test them next weekend. I hope next year at this time I can quote your post and say x2

I changed over last year and as the other guys have noted gear oil comes out looking new instead of black and burnt from XR's. Best of Luck!

Send pics of the final install.

You will be fine. Fill it with clean gear oil and go boating...
