The 2012 37 AT in the classifieds has them and I looked them up to see exactly what they were.

Their kit is pretty expensive for what it is... Anyone can fabricate the kit with some neoprene steel braided lines, stainless fittings, differential pumps and remote oil filters. The hard part is drilling and tapping the drives. If anybody is interested "Mr Gadgets" had a schematic and a kit and/or he will tell you what type of fittings to use. He did mine 4-5 years ago and it definitely works.

The only downside is that if you do trash another drive, you have to get the new cases drilled and tapped... Its still an XR and it will still break.

IMCO SCX Spend it now or spend it later......

I wish someone would have said that to ME before I rebuilt 8-10??? I don't know lost count.

SCX ^^^^^ Problem Free

XZ gears have a thicker floor than the std. B1 gears. Have had good success with a heavy boat. A 382 formula with 600ft lbs torque each. Not a direct replacement they require drive machining to fit . Call me if you have any questions at 414 -581-4300
Thanks

The Victory Marine XR's/IMCO SC lowers that are on the 30 Spectre we just bought are also built with XZ gears. Bill at Victory said he has had much better luck building the XR's with XZ gears over the years....
