Dumped the gear lube in my XR today, had 9 hours on it, about 10-12 tiny chips maybe 1/16" or less across. How long till my drive is toast, got new gears just last year, bet I have less than 20 hours on them.

It's only going to get more expensive the longer you run it or wait to service it.

Get it looked at asap. Those flakes floating around in an environment where tight tolerances are imperative is a bad recipe.

I'll even bring it back to s.cal if need be. I had PAUL at ECM , Santa Ana, do it last time, But as of next week, the boat will live in Havasu.

Call Pete at Temecula Speed and Marine.

He has built some very reliable high hp drives over the years. That are still running strong.

He is a bit slow due to the backlog of work, but it will be done right.
