My Top Gun came with 11 Clutch 72C trans. One was a Bam and one was a Huber... I just pulled them out because the Bam was locked in forward... Huber trans still worked great.
Upon tear down the Bam clutches were smoked... and I mean gone... The Huber clutches were 50% gone... Since both companies use the same Raybestos High Performance Graphite Clutch Dics there was an obvious oiling problem to the clutches....
I upgraded my Bam trans to the Huber parts because Huber makes a better trans end of story... By the way anyone paying Bam $600 per trans for clutch Disc is getting seriously ripped off. Those clutches cost around $7 each and I have the part numbers if you need them...
Someone at Bam needs an ass whoopin charging people $50 some dollars a Disc....

BAM could you post maintenance timeline for your transmission? I just bought a boat last year 36 Nortech supercat twin 750 sterling. I am not familiar with transmissions at all. Fluid change? What else?

Aside from changing the fluid there is very little to do. Use type F, once a year or every 100 hours is fine unless you have a cooler failure or wind up with water in it. Moisture is death to them!

Jeff, the velvet drive of today is far from the original.
