1000 hours. it has proven itself to work i that app. pull it off and have it gone thru by somebody that will stand behind their work. your maintanance and driving work obviously. i would just keep it the same.

AADS addresses several issues with their 1-4 upgrades but the upper gear set, until someone develops a better, stronger upper gear set they will fail. you can treat XR gears all you want but they'll break.

The boat has just over 1600 hours on it now. The previous owner replaced the drive at 600 hours and sold the boat. My world is a lot different as far as excelleration and running. I am honestly pleased with what I have but figured that I would never get this lucky again, so was hoping when I do have an issue to go with something better. Is there a better gear set to go with? And also who does the best at rebuilding these drives?

The boat has a jackshaft to the drive. The B3x drive that is on the boat now has somewhere around 1000 hrs on it with not major issues. I do have a drive shower and my cruise is around 3400 RPM. A direct replacement would be great, so I could hopefully just bolt up and go when something does happen. I can always just go back with the Bravo but I like overkill and not having to worry about things. Thank you for the input and any more is greatly appreciated as im trying to get educated.
We're also in NC. What kind of Drive-Shower do you have on your outdrive?
