Motor Preference

Sounds like a prop issue.

Ive had both motor in question and several of each. Out of warranty Ill take the pro xs, in warranty Ill take the SHO. SHO's are way too expensive to fix if they blow up out of warranty, but I much prefer the smooth running characteristics.

Something doesn't sound right...4 lower units in a year!!! Probably less than 10 hours each...setup issue or installation issue for sure. BRP outboard division would be out of business

We used 2 different dealers throughout the process. Like I said we weren't the only ones having issues. I also heard that year they changed out all of the FLW tour guys lower units from the Lightening gear cases to the Magnum 2 gear cases because they were having problems.

Thank god my Lightning is still holding up. Maybe a bad batch of gears???

After two a TSR should have been engaged by the dealer. But seeing the Rude isn't in the equation the point is moot.

The problem is the motor was not under warranty at the time.
