how many hours do you have on your motor and have you had to do any major repairs?

140 hours, other than shimming the motor after 100 hours no repairs have been performed. I've put on a Gecker carb it has since been removed due to complications of it sticking WOT.

I've added a MM exhaust and love it.

Next project is a remote oil cooler for the summer

Then mikuni carb before duck bird season. I want to be able to run 28 with a load. I hit 25-26 now with 3 guys and gear.

200 hrs on my last PD with a few minor repairs, sheared the lower unit bolts off twice but they're only 25 bucks or so for the set. and i think i might have had the clutch replaced or worked on...

70 hrs on this new unit and not a problem yet.

33 hrs on the GTR. Bought it Feb 5. Tranny is leakin a little bit of oil but I dont have time to go get it taken care of right now. Other than that I love it.

i got 1,000 hours on my paddle if that counts lol

35 GDSD - 100 hours - 3 oil changes and a couple dozen
pumps of the grease gun.... Still breaks 30 mph with the
original spark plugs...




Oh - burned the blades off the first prop at about 60 hours - sand
and oyster shells are hard on them props - if that counts as repair
I consider them "consumables" like gas and oil though....

49 hrs on the GTR and......................


















NOTHING!

Almost 200 hrs on my GTR. Nothing major. Trim had a leak in it. Hoyt sent me a new trim unit.

230 havent had to do anything to it but put gas in it and run grease it and change the oil

If your chit aint breaking you aint running it right LOL.

70 ish hours on mine and Case gasket is seeping, reverese lever has a lil leak, and the thing runs like a spotted ass ape for a stocker. So i deal with the little things...

Had 200 hrs
coondik added stage 1
put an additional 180hrs
valves had to be reset and case gasket was leaking
Replaced 3 Lower, Lower Unit Seals

A special thanks to Coondik for making my mudmotor memories ones to remimber.. ;(

08 35 gtr, 430 something hours
replaced lower unit seals, cracked the belt housing, broke a belt, had a leak from the brake caliper (they fixed that for me on a sat. after a ride last year) , broke the oil cooler off, had a muffler fall off, melted the trans cover BAD ,broke a throttle, went thru about a dozen relays cause im cheap and bought the ones from auto zone for 5 bucks that last bout 2 weeks, 3 props, a case gasket and a buncha grease and oil,

But I may be just a little rougher on it then most

I will say this, gator-tail went above and beyond with everything more then I would have ever expected

06 35 GDSD. about 220 hours on it i believe. When i bought it the Tach was broken. Guy i bought it from figured about 120 hours. Iput a new tach and another 100 hours so far. No problems. I added the EVT Mikuni intake/carb kit and the EVT muffler. Onlt thing i've done is change oil, plugs, and grease. Well, i added an oil cooler to help out with the south louisiana summers. I can't complain at all.

i bought mine in september, had 46 hours on it then last day of duck season i think the tach said either 138 or 140. i do a lot of driving

23 gd sd. 148 hours change the oil, filters, plugs, and add grease... Had a seeping case gasket at 120 hours.. Got that fixed under warranty... No others problems

385hrs.

1. leaking case gaskets.
2. valve job

bjg, dat sucks. I got 92 hours on my 2007 PD, with only a minor case gasket leak. Of course, I do run it at 3800 normally.

BJG,

sorry to hear that man.

If you dont mind me asking what kind of motor do you have?

Briggs? Size?

06 32 pd, 225ish hours. Sunk twice, case gasket leak since 25 hrs (now fixed) new plugs, one clutch switch, new lower and upper seals on lower unit, Just got the heads done: decked .060 and port, polish and shims. Going to run er for the first time since ice broke tormorow. Other than that couple oil changes and lots of grease. PD and Illowa Prodive been really good to me. Thanks to Paul and KP.

700plus on my stock 36. engine is same as when i got it, cept for 3 mufflers.

broke a shaft in the lower unit, and had 3 or 4 props. i think i'm still on the same clutch, i know i changed one out a couple yrs ago.
same old same old, if u use it eventually ur gonna need to fix sumthing.

go look in the dealers repair yards, they all break.

217hrs on GTR had case gasket changed at 40hrs, still stock no other problems.

45 hours on new powerhead, 3 props (lots of sand LOL), Nothing else

208 hours total on powerhead.
crankcase gasket blew out at 80 hours
10 hours since mods with no trouble so far.

390hrs today

50 hours on my 32 hp pd and i have not had any issues. its is all stock and i run it like it is stolen.

315 hours and i had to replace the lower unit sealnut on my pd, and the stock exhaust had a few holes from the salt water so a put a after market one on. other than that nothing. that is in one year and 1 month of hours. i bought brand new.

32PD with 158hrs: new ss exhaust from bps at 120hrs (the stock rusted),new heavy duty lower from kp at 150hrs (too many cypress knees i guess) and leaking case as normal from around 140hrs till now. if you aint breakin it, you anint runnin it!!!!!

Put 375 hours on a stock 06 32 PD in 13 months and it never left me stranded!! Went through a few props (user error), broke one prop almost in two, busted a few mufflers (typical with the steel B&S mufflers), sheared a tooth or two off the lower unit, but was unaware of it - found out during routine maintenance - so it was fixed without ever causing me any issues. Buddy bought it and has exceeded 500 hours but not sure by how much...sold it to him and bought a 36.

Had to relocate shortly after getting my 36 PD and have only put 260 hours on it so far, in which I have managed to wear out a few more props, beat up my rock guard pretty good, stripped a drive coupler (also apparent user error), lost a battle once with some silt fence at a boat landing and it cost me the lower seals, burnt a PTO switch (unprotected wire - user error), broke a push rod after getting the Mikuni, recently developed an oil leak - also believed to be result of the Mikuni, and yeah, that is about all I can think of at the moment.

Notice, the repetition related to user error?? They really do build them nearly indestructible, even for idiots like me!! As already stated by some others above, I could never thank KP and everyone at Pro-Drive enough for all they have done for me, and for the product they put out the door!!

170 hrs
No problems yet.
Couldn't even tell ya how many props I've been thru lol

2010 35 GTR, one month old with 11 hrs. Brought it do gator tail yesterday to change out the trim, it was completely out. Also case gasket has small leak and asked Hoyt to check it out for me, other than that i couldnt be happier with this motor, i owned a PD before and rather the GTR.

130 hrs on 7000 bought Oct 2009. 2 Case gaskets. Muffler. Belt housing. Tac on handle broke. Jets to meet elevation. All parts covered by warranty.

MY firts GTR Is still going strong!!! Has right at 600 hrs on it over 300 on the stage 1 only thing done to the motor after the mods was a valve job!!

My 2nd motor had 41 hrs and went boom LOL

My present has i think around 65 or so and going strong!!
