Re: Broke the drive
It probably is more dependant on setup and assembly then IMCO vs Merc XR. I would think that either would be a good upgrade from XZ as long as the machine work and assembly was done properly on the IMCO.

Is this true?? Good luck Hey Mike Formula , Did you get power for your new 28 yet ? |
Re: Broke the drive
Hey Talon25, I've decided to go with 600 cubic inch motor from Randy @ Cobra. I thought about motors for a long long time and decided to go this route just cause I thought the 525 (originally wanted) would be just a little under powered, and the fact that everyone is going with 540's and stuff i didn't want to be the slow one in the group :) I was very impressed with the performance they were getting out of Mike Berg's boat.

the lower is toast. I found metal flakes all through the oil. A few small chunks on the magnets. The lower shafts spin independent of one another and it sounds like and feels like rocks are in there. The upper is most likely ok. I will have it gone through and I will mate it to a take off (new) XR.
I hope to have them finished this week if I'm lucky. I found the XR lower for 750.00 :D :D :drink: :drink: |

Re: Broke the drive
Tom ,
Just read your post - that sucks ! Well like I told you , 6-8 races on that drive and it never let me down . Sorry to see it blew on you . But **** , I am surprised the lower let go , and not the upper . Anyway , hope its running fine otherwise ! |
Re: Broke the drive
No complaints Jerry :D
I dropped off the drive this morning and was told it wouldn't be finished by this weekend :( I still have plenty to do |

Re: Broke the drive
Now the new Bravo XR is mounted. Just a couple of minor things left - have to change the spacers within the trim cylinders to fit Bravo. No biggie! :D
