A friend of mine is interested in swapping out his TRS drives and installing #3 drives. What problems will he encounter? Will the gimball need to be replaced and do the drives even match up?

I know absolutely nothing about either of these drives so thats as descript as I can be.

Thanks

He will have to reglass the transom and then recut it out. I know that DJD did this on his Cig so maybe you can track him down for some of the details.

I thought a #III is a TRS with a differnt lower and trans?

That would be a #2 drive

Not sure but you may not have to reglass. The old Tranny will work

Reglass the transom. New drive, gimbal, etc. Tranny will work but it requires a different tailstock. External hydraulic steering, if he doesn't have it already.

Hopefully DJD will chime in. So far it looks like a major project.

This scary, I was wanting to do this also, but only if I have too.
I was wanting to super charge my boat. i blew the port side lower out the first weekend i had it running 500 horse thru. Took half the summer to rebuilt, and that means I already out $3000 in having it rebuilt.

Looking at getting at least 200 more hp's out of the motors.
Wasn't really counting on having to this, but the thought has been i the back of my mind.
Do I neeed to change drives?

Biggus on the board is running 750hp or so into his TRS drives and had no problems

We swapped out our TRS drives with #2s, they bolt right up, about a half an hour a side depending how many people "are helping" We did this on a Top Gun
