Just no drag racing ! But you should be ok. Water the drive (shower),change the oil .

Think I would pull the drive down and check the shimming every year.
Also keep a eye on the propshaft carrier bearing. The end one ( needle Bearing ! )

My driver were done every race. That's 6 to 8 times a year.
Maybe a good rule of thumb would be to do it at 30 to 40 hours?

We (Mercury) used the drive on the 330 big block for maybe 1 1/2 to 2 year ? Just before the Bravo came on line.
Drive would last about 30 hours and explode !

Been thinking about the new deck. Anybody use NidaCore panels ? I don't want to build a mold for a one-off.

Moved forward a little. Pulled her in the bay and started pulling some of the stuff.

Been thinking about the new deck.Here is one new idea. 2 side-by-side and a rear bench ? This would be a sit down racing seats on suspension.
