I was just curious because we've been running the Milodon gear drives in our boats since the late 90s and I can't say they've ever caused a problem. We ran the Cloyes hex adjust prior to the gear drive and other billet stuff before that. The only thing I can say for sure about the gear drive, it takes a long time to wear out and the timing doesn't jump around at all. The gear drive is probably over kill if you're not running a solid roller.

My reverse rotation motor also use gear drive but there is no benefit over the chain on the other motor. A good double roller is the way to go and a lot cheaper and quieter and better over all.
