TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

I saw a complete TRS rebuild kit on ebay a few weeks ago for about $900.00. Is this thing lagit? What does it include and where can I get one???

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

I've got the "Ultimate" TRS rebuild kits. Will run you about $10k a side including gimbals. It's called a Konrad! Just busting your balls dude.... Sounds pretty cheap and I've never heard of a "kit". I would check it out 1st.

Never heard of one either but I have a drive and gimbal assembly I'll part with.

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

Have a friend in need of a port side upper,lower and maybe gimbal assembly. Which is yours? PM me with a price please.

I don't want to tread on carm here but if he doesn't have an upper I do. I also have a complete drive or two. Let me know.

I want the Konrads, just can't afford them right now. I guess I'll just keep rebuilding the TRS's for now. But I'd rather do it myslef than pay someone $1500 to do it for me.

I've got some TRS Drives also, I am waiting for one to break so I can feel good about a fresh rebuild, ha Any way the lower end casing on my starboard side has a small crack due to electrolysis, what do I do to fix that casing cheap, before I lose the gears? do I have to replace the entire lower end? any ideas? thanks

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

last week, replaced a prop shaft in port trs, bad thing is while removing the retaining ring the housing cracked, welded crack and got everything all back together, test run this weekend, if it dosent hold it will be 1200.00 for a new lower housing. B.O.A.T.

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

Good luck with that weld, I've seen that tried that before with little success.

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

You can weld on those lower housings? Any Special welding techniques? My crack is about two inches long from the prop moving to the rear 1cm wide. And is mine fails, where do you locate a new housing I tryed mercruiser, but no luck?

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

We have them in stock - see:

I used alluminun spool gun with 100% argon, got good pen. reshaped weld to match surface. wish I had a TIG but ya got ta go with whacha got. I can see where the rear of the housing takes a lot of load. just keeping fingers crossed. let you all know monday if it holds. if not......hello, BAM ?

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

Bowmann's in houston does alot of props, but they also have been know to do welds on drive casings, I'm going to take mine by and see what they can do, I'll let you know how things turn out.

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

test drove ( welded lower ) weld held ! Ya hoo, but while I was out the other drive puked all over inside the engine bay, out the resevoir, turned out the oil transfer hose from the bell housing to the transom had a crack and allowed water into the drive, pulled drive and bellow, replaced 3/8 hose yesterday. lots of fun installing these drives by you're self.

Re: TRS Rebuild Kit?
 

I've got four drives that got the electrolysis cancer. Does it makes sense to buy new upper and lower cases and rebiuld or just try and sell the parts?

I'm told all the shafts and gears are good--bearings probably good--just "housings" are bad.

Any thoughts?
