Yes Yt we will forget your Pree-Eye :-) that's not even a vehicle.

Hoghead it looks like your drive is a Alpha one drive not a b3 no daul. props. It could be the Alpha 3 prototype :-) pictures to come.
Whichever drive it may be it's getting a shower whether it needs one or not :D . Would a Alpha 3 be good??
I promised pictures of the Alpha 3 :-)
I just ordered one jet charged drive for my 8.1gxi baby she's going to fly :-)

Yes you do!

In fact, those blue engine Merc pics you sent me during the Pacific deployment kept my Cobalt spirits high!

If you drag it through the snow fast enough, will it create a snow shower?

That's cool A7! I got my platform covering in today but I was already gone. Setting in Dallas right now for an auction tomorrow, but I get to see it soon!

I have to rip and tear that hideous M off, scrape any residual then clean it up with acetone. I'll wait for a warmer time for now

I’m just wondering whether the high temp issue with the B3 is also found on Volvo Penta DPS drives?

The temp issue is with all merc drives. Why it doesn't show up on the Volvo I can't answer that. They do something different in the water passages. But what I can say is the oil still gets hot in the Volvo. I would say two out of the last four dps drives I've had when I went to charge the drive lube it was black and not smelling so good. So that tells me they get hot. Now I only run mine about 25 hours a year. So make sure you change your fluid. After this year I'll know if the new lube helped in my drive or not. But I would almost consider changing it twice a year if you put on more hours than me. Now we tube and wakeboard alot not just a bunch of cruising around and I don't run wide open to much unless Nauti is behind me :-) I don't want to hear her exhaust as it will make me want to add it!
