Had to shorten the extension, was burying the bow at that length.

Hey Fred the motor is running great, checked the burn a few times, it's right there looking good. Was spinning about 7000rpm just about home and the lower let loose. Have cracks on both sides of the case, no forward or reverse. Still got that one boxed up with the 1.87 gears in it that you wanted, I'll be shipping that one on Monday. Going to pull this one apart tomorrow, grind the cone off and send it up to you with a fresh case along with any other parts that may be good. I gotta get runninig again real quick

Pulled it apart, everything but the vertical shaft and the bearing carrier are toast. The dog is in 100 pieces, there is nothing left to the pinion gear, looks like an old lady with no teeth. Forward and reverse gear have less teeth than a redneck at a NASCAR race. The case is cracked on both sides.

We were on it pretty good, spinning 7K when it went. When the motor kicked up we lost the seal on the tilt ram too. I'm sending out the loaded Nitro today so you can swap the gears. I'll include this bearing carrier since the one in this case leaks a little.

This powerhead has a lot more balls from 3500 to 6000

I'm still smiling

The boat was running great, motor was screaming and we were having a blast. I got another full case and an empty case so we'll be running again soon. Who knows, if I keep breaking I'm looking for a speedy for it.

hey fast arent you glad you went with the 40 now. a gearcase would probably set you back a couple weeken. speed gets expensive

My little cat makes me laugh all the time, even after this I still had a big smile on my face. Some things are just priceless

Dog, pinion and case (the epoxy if from the cone that I took off).

Nah, that was after I got done beating it. I needed the vertical shaft and when the dog went it rounded the nut that held the pinion on. This is what the case really looks like, both sides were like this.

Just having fun. Been searching for parts, bought a complete lower, an empty case and a gear set in the past couple of days. Yet my new 625s are sitting in the garage because I'm having so much fun with this cat.

The big boats are just too much work, I didn't even bother cutting the wrap on it this year, its just gonna sit on the lift.
