Trs Drive Parts
 

Do any of you guy out there have any TRS drive parts? we are working on a old cigarette and don't know where to find these old parts or old blown drives for parts.:(

marine power service in Jersey had an ad for a used TRS,

www.marinepowerservice.com

I saw this ad in yacht trader for TRS Drives. The place is called Offshore Performance Specialties

www.offshoreperformance.com

let me know what ya find because I have TRS's too and they say parts are getting harder to find.

You might try BAM. He has had TRS parts in the past.

Many parts will come up NLA, but I heard a rumor that someone was going to start making them.

Cuda is right I heard there is going to be a company making aftermarket parts for TRS but the drive housings will no longer be available.

what kind of hp will these TRS drives handle. we have a 540 ci with a small 177 blower around 600hp and have blown the drive in flat water twice in less than 10hr. Dont know what to try next.

I don't know why anyone would start making replacement parts without offering the housings as well. 2 years ago my drives needed attention and I wanted to do it right, so I started looking for replacement lowers and came up with nothing. Everything inside the drives was easily obtainable but I ended up using the same lowers over and they look like ****. In fact, I'm suprised they're still holding together due to the corrosion around the prop shaft threads. It seems to me, if somebody started making "affordable" replacement parts for these, they would do a pretty good buisiness.

Dockmech,

Call "Doctor Dave"---he's a member on this board. He has a 35' Cigarette with 565 cubic inch/810hp blower engines WITH TRS drives! He does the set up/assembly on his TRS drives and has very good success with them. He just finished another guys 35'Cig with TRS who had problems until Dave got him squared away. You can call Dave at 616-944-0214---he's in S.W. Michigan.

maybe it's a licensing or patent issue with Mercruiser?

I had my TRS drives rebuilt by Marc at BAM. Granted im not doing 600HP.......closer to 450+ but they are rock solid after almost 4 years. He even straightened out the prop shaft cause it was not perfectly straight!
As for parts.....i would try BAM on that one too. If he dont have it in stock i think Dollar Offshore will have it. Ive had great luck with them in the past!

I blew up a lower gear and found them the next day on the net. Called them up and had it next dayed out to me so i can leave for LOTO that night!!! I slapped it together and it lasted all weekend. And that was without checking any clearences!!! After that weekend i sent both drives to BAM and they have been perfect ever since! :D

the bottom half seams to be ok on this trs it is the top that keeps blowing the cover right off. I could under stand if we were running this in rough water, but the water here is so flat drive problems are far and few . maybe a problem with the case.

The lower is the weak area on the TRS, the uppers seldom go. Could be an assembly issue. What cover blows off?

At this point most of the parts are still available.

I thought someone said there was a new drive (Konrad??) that bolted to the TRS gimble?

the back cover on top not the top cover. I agree that it might be in the assy. like I said before it is run in flat calm water they should be lasting longer. we will half to take it apart and mike the components , see what happened and or have some one that really knows these drives take a look. summer is getting short and this boat does not look good in the yard.

Has anyone ever used this company for lower housing repair?
This may save a few TRS housings.
