When to refresh?
 

Have an '89 Apache with Chief 850's, 3A's and beefed up trannies from TNT (10 disc). The whole package has 145 hours.

How do you know when to refresh the trannies? Other people have advised that since the motors are out, this is the time.

What do you look for and how do you know?

Thats a tuff one......If ya have the extra dough pull em....Why not two long bolts and some lines right?
Although i have the same trans and i have around 150 hours on it with no problems at all....This year mine stayed in the boat....

Hey Rob and Barb..call Eric @ Fantastic Finish Marine. He used to work at Great Lakes Power..re did mine..great guy..phone # 330-322-8817 he can help....:cool-smiley-026::evilb::cool-smiley-011:

If the motors are out, I'd say freshen them. Shouldnt be too expensive.

Rob,
If the engines are out......do the transmissions now. I am a dealer for Bam. Let me know if you need any help on the engine work or parts. I would be happy to help . Thanks!

Those transmissions come apart quick and easy. Some visual inspection and a few measurements will point you in the right direction. It's alot easier to take them out with the engines out.... and in March, instead of on July 3rd when they're slipping.

How does that saying of magnum mark's go......from the oil fill cap to the prop nut. :D
