wouldnt leave in water for the most part they are bare alum.
as for bolting to a stock x drive they will but why only as strong as the weakest link, in this case it would be the upper gears.....

Re: Sportmaster questions, leave in fresh water?
I'm not sure about the -2 sportmaster but if you are trying to bolt a standard length sportmaster lower to a XR upper then you will need longer studs than the normal XR lowers use. I have a set of sportmaster XR's and when I changed the lowers to -2 imco shorties the studs were too long.
