The last thing you need to worry about in that boat (or most boats) is the engine and drive. You are worrying about the strongest link in the chain. If it is fresh water 500 hrs is nothing.

If it were me, I would also ask the tech how much to scope the camshaft. It never lies.

They drill a hole through the oil pan and or the lifter valley, drop a bore scope in and take a look. It is recommended every 200 hrs :lolhit:

Also the OP is 5/10 on on the Darr meter, interested to see where this ends up
