Take it to someone that regualy works on your type of drive/ boat.....ie dont take a XR drive to a bayliner dealer as they probobly have never seen straight cut gears before
Checkmate,
before you tell someone to open it up find out who you are talking to and are they exp enough or you open up a really big can of worms for them......granted you dont have to deal with it but they will
not trying to be mean

Luckily I have this new tool from Snap on here is the part# w.t.f.1 Magical wand ... It also works good for diagnostics over the phone like My boat makes a noise, What is it? & questions like that... For some other situations snap on has a crystal ball part# w.t.f.2 It is for problems like my boat wont start & I put a battery in & a starter but it still does nothing. This is when I use my crsyatl ball... Once in a while I have very complex situations to deal with & thankfully I can use both the magic wand & crystal ball together to properly get the job done. I imagine you have seen some of this down your way.. Nothing supprises me anymore
Again No offense was meant anyone else here. I just got a chuckle out of what Joe said. We have gotten a fair amount of stuff like that at times too... I guess its a shop owner thing... Jamie

I totally agree with Joe, someone brought me "a drive" to rebuild in piece's and was actually a Bukkake of blown up part's from 3 drives that marina handed him.
A machine shop that I deal with actually oversees me taking the motors apart in his shop, as opposed to bringing the pieces in. This way withought a doubt we understand what went wrong and where, and observe the big picture instead of trying to solve a puzzle. BBB

This may come as a surprise to some of you guys who own or work in boat yards but some of who dont CAN rebuild their own drives, engines or whatever else it takes. I know there are several here who can. I for one am one of them.

Im not trying to put anyone down I just saying in the long run its cheaper and easier to take to the correct shop to get it fixed
everybody crys about what we charge an hour......
when the heater or a/c in your breaks what do they get an hour ?????
how much are plumber getting a hour these days
how about electricians
as a marine tech we are trained on these systems as well as drives and motors
I own alot more tools then most of the above profession and prob have more schooling
I charge 75.00 an hour......the shop I used to work for charged 95.00 for my same work
seriously what are the above getting an hour??????
I belive there are alot of things on a boat that any one with common knolage can fix and Im always happy to help someone fix something that normally might be a little beyond them but drives if you dont have the proper tools and training you are much better off taking it to someone whos built a couple of hundred
JUST MY 5 cents
