BADFISH Austin Boater Offline Austin Boater Posts: 51 Sugar Land, TX Gender:	Gotta love Bravo XRs Nov 14^th, 2013 at 2:40pm Put the boat in for some standard service…. So far we are rebuilding both drives (again this year). Apparently I love my 6 blade Herings more than my drive gears.

Granted two years ago, but still a major expense and PITA. Good luck on the rebuild(s) BADFISH. Capt, have you had yours looked at from a wear stand point? How many hrs are there on the drives? New motors with more torque?

Yeah the additional power could be an issue but I'm usually pretty gentle on them. No hard starts for sure. It's just how these things go, I'm sure they are next. I have redone everything else!

Here's to a speedy rebuild.

Did I say sleeping on or sleeping it off, it is the same, right?
