I do the oil changes regularly, but I'm sending my 1075's in at 125 hours and just figure its piece of mind to do the drives also. I hate to break and one less thing at the end of its life is a good thing in my opinion.

Did you ever decide who's doing your drive?

Yep an overwhelming response to use CRAIG COLLABELLA. He's going to take the drives from me when I'm down in Key west next month.

craig has more experience than anyone in the business. he was with merc racing back in the day when the six drive was first developed. plus his pricing is worth shipping to him.
What a great guy....... True professional.........

I think it's funny that people have recomended places from Cali to Florida. Brace lives in Ohio and not one person mentioned Lake Cumberland Marine...But i wouldn't use them either and i live here....
