are the gears we buy today any better, maybe merc., adressed the hardening problem by now.

Broke XR upper w/200 hours behind a stock 525efi. Broke the gear set and a top cap stud. Spewed a bunch of metal into the lower where it needs rebuilt also.
This was coincidentally > 10 hrs. after switching to a LH prop. All the other hours where running RH. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or not? |

You guys will buy a 1 ton diesel truck to pull a 5000 pound boat then you put 1000HP in front of a B1. Kind of a** backwards.

After reading about all these Bravo failures, 8 degree Casale V-Drives are sounding pretty appealing. :)
