I am sure I could have gotten more hours- it probably has several more anyway. I talked with Fred at Imco and decided to take his advice and replace vs possibly having issues in next yr or 2.
Again after all the things I have had issues w over the last 10yrs now (wow hard to believe 10 already) these last 4 eventFREE boating yrs makes me a Happy FuKing Camper!
O and its been a few yrs since I have had to idle for 2 hours listening to my Wife Beeetch -- this Fuking Boat----- Priceless !!

Yup, you'd hate to try to stretch it and either have the long idle back in from somewhere or even worse, experiencing a massive failure that takes out a case, etc. making for an even more expensive repair.

I'm surprised it needed all that in the upper after 125 hours? How much power are you making?
I'm on my second set of pinion gears in my BMax uppers but I've owned them since 2006. I replaced the first pinion gear around 300hrs (about $2000 in cost for both uppers for me to do the work myself). The new pinion gears have about 200 hours on them now and I when through them a few months ago. They they look good so far and I increased power up another 75-100hp (965hp) two years ago.
