TRS drives
 

Hello,

I need your advice. I would like to buy a 34' boat with TRS drives.

I have heard they are out of production for quite a while. Are there still spare parts available, and are these drives good?

I just wonder while Konrad offers a replacement kit...

Thanks

Re: TRS drives
 

Spare parts are available & they are great drives.
To much hp will hurt them..... Konrad makes a great replacement drive if you have heavy engines.

Re: TRS drives
 

are 7.4L = 330HP ok?

Re: TRS drives
 

You will be fine. I think TRS are good up to around 600hp. I've had TRS for 3 years and so far no problems,I keep the oil changed and easy on the sticks when taking off with 475 -500 hp.

You should be able to run with very little problem if you take it easy; TRS should be ok with 550-600hp; most parts are still available with a bit of searching or from riggs. Good luck -Jeff

Still doing my drives since 1977. TRS with a 330 was a factory package.............Which trans do you run?.........m.m.......

We have 750 hp and 680 ft of torque and haven't hurt one yet, Its all on how you treat them some poeple could fu*k up a ball bearing with a rubber mallet if you let em

Re: TRS drives
 

I have 800 hp in front of TRS drives and trans done by Speedmasters.

Only problem I have had was I hit something in FL once and hit something
in Jersey once. ......I dont beat the boat up.

So far been about 6 yrs and no other issues........dont want a bravo boat
but if I sell this one I might have little other choice.

I'm sure those Konrads are good.......but I dont want to put any more
money into this boat and dont really have any problems withTRS.

I'm now over the 250 hr mark with my Konrads. Zero failures = cheap boating. :D
