Len, as a result of our new "Seven Blade Technology" and material that is "Out of this World" we are able to run a much higher x dimension than our competitors. We mount the Max Alpha upside down moving the centerline of the prop exactly in line with your swim platform so we may have to do some mods on it as well.

Funny you should ask.......it is a match made in heaven. Baron Swartz actually was the first to come up with the 7 blade technology......I wish I could take credit for it....you will be thrilled!

Smitty,
I had the drive neutral or a little negative when it broke. I would love to know what caused it to break the case like it did. It didn't really have any other damage. Of course the pinion gear and forward gear were damaged when the input shaft moved forward, but that was about it. You're right, I think we are going to have trouble keeping one together with the 34 prop and 1.34 gears. Since the motor made it's power at 5500 rpm, I need to run that much gear and prop to keep the turns down. This also was a Max upper. Any suggestions?

Thanks Magic, hopefully it will past a buck with no problem.
Len,
That oil cooler better be VERY cheap. I still don't think the fittings will be big enough
I have never seen drive oil grow that fast. 30 seconds after we broke 3000 rpm's, it grew well over an inch and would have come out had we not backed down. I would like to put a temp gauge in it to see just how much heat that drive is making. I really wish there was a way to put a pump in the drive and send the oil through a cooler. I have been thinking about it for a while and can't come up with anything. The heat is going to continue to be the death of that drive.
Give me a call after you write the check

I do not think it will fix your breaking parts problem but it should keep it cooler.

Smitty,
As thunderusone said, this is not the first XR we have seen break the pinion support. It must be a weak link. The OD of the support is the same for all of the drives. It has to be to fit in the gimble. The ID on the XR is bigger to house the bigger pinion nut, so it is thinner there. This must be the reason for the weakness.

I'll be damn. I'm trying to reinvent the wheel and someone already did it. Has anyone used it? Does it work???

I'm not aware of the xr housing using a bigger pinion/spanner nut with a thinner casting,my drive is based on a std case with xr parts and max worx parts in it and all the ones that I have ever worked on started life as a std case so its the first I ever heard of this,Smitty
As far as drive cooling, Smitty with the Wazzup boys has also been using drive coolers for some time.
Anything up in the HP range I don't see it living unless you're spinning some serious RPMS.. I learned my lesson's the hard way.
