This is what I do with mine and even with 100% salt water use (moored in salt water 14 seasons 6 months out of the year); I have not had major drive problems. Replaced: Bellows 2x, gimble once, trim hoses and a few seals on the drive. The rest is all OE including the U joints. Going on 30 years old! I also recommend checking the drive oil for water each season when you change it. Good call. I thought they were doing this already (or maybe they just told me they were...). |

I had one that I suspect did that too, they are out of business now |
