Jim,
I have a 2007 32 skater with Arnesons asd7's bam trans about 700hp. Never had any issue with the trans and have quite a bit a time on the trans.If you are running 4 blade props the boat my ran fast but way too much harmonics. The vibration and chatter was stupid. 5 Blades resolved all issues.

That isn't the brightest spot for them........ I understand that it is tricky to get them mounted, but Marc is right that things can and will move around, and that shifter cable could wiggle its way out of gear.

Just once I'd like to go out boating and not have something breakdown... After spending a ton of money on motor and drive upgrades it seems the weakest link are the transmissions hands down...
This is the third time in a little over a year that I've had reverse fail on a transmission... And before anyone chimes in NO it wasn't subjected to anything other than idle rpm and nowhere near the so called 2,000 rpm limit....
They are so pathetically fragile there has to be a better solution... I'll surmise that these transmissions have oh maybe three hours on them total and probably not that much. The wife and I just got back from a nice little spin and one of them just quit going into reverse...
If anyone has any reasonably priced solution I'm open for suggestions... This is getting ridiculous and I need to find something that will last an entire season....

At least you didn't have to remove the motor. My experience with BAM tansmissions is if they last 10 hours they will hold up and work fine. The repetitive failures before 10 hours I still haven't figured out. Just get them rebuilt and once they last 10 hours your good to go. Dumb logic I know.

Jass, alignment is a frequent problem, but I don't think it will kill reverse. I'm waiting to see the dead units so we can figure out what happened.
We started making a linkage kit, solves a lot of problems. Accommodates top mount starters on either side, push or pull for forward.
