Typical hours seen

what kind of hours are you guys seeing on your engines and drives? I have several customers with well over 1000 hrs on their 496 Bravo 3. The commercial customers I inspect and replace whatever is needed once a year on the bravo drives usually around 1000 to 1200 hrs. I know of one gear set that had over 4,000 hrs Just wondering what others are logging.

6 and all three have over 6,000 hrs. They are due for freshen up at 10,000. The Cummins 5.9 has just over 1,800 at the last oil change. The Cummins is only on its second season.

390 Hours.
Motor untouched and runs like a champ. 60PSI oil pressure.
Changed gimbal bearing, seals, bellows, cables last year. All drive internals original.
Some corrosion on lower case from P.O. installing Aluminum anodes (fresh water) and Mercathode not working properly so changed those out last year also and repainted drive.
