I've been running Hubers for five years without problems.
But
I've also noticed the rising popularity of the BAM transmissions. Does BAM require a thermostat to keep the temps at 180 for clutch plate life?

What's your experience?

My experience is with Huber....No problems

how much hp you guys running thru them?

I use huber and love it. I have a 1550 deep sump with thermostat.

BAM has a dry sump vs. a deep sump. Does BAM remove transmission fluid and go to a fluid tank, then get pumped into areas of transmission???

I don't think you could go wrong with either. My boat was built with Hubers that were later upgraded by Tom Huber to 1330's.

I have the 1450 kryptonite model Huber's behind 1100hp blower motors in my 38 Cigarette. I've had them in the boat for 4 years with no problems what so ever.
I've spoken to the new owner several times recently and he has been extremely accommodating and helpful.
If I need new transmissions in the future I will go with Hubers.

I've bought numerous transmissions for customers from BAM. Never a problem with delivery, satisfied customers, competative pricing and an OSO advertiser and forum participant.

I've never heard anything but good comments about Huber either, but I have no personal experience.

We have BAM Super Cyborg 1500's in our Cig and they work great.

Due, I have 1450 Hubers in my Jag and Tom is a great guy to do business with. Doug

My past experience with Tom Huber was also good and I'm hoping Earl Zimmer (new owner) will continue with the good service.

Does BAM's tranny use a different style clutch plate that doesn't need a thermostat? My Hubers don't have them, but I see that the newer Hubers come with them.
