Truthfully, in the 2-3 years I had that boat (25' John Allmand) I never had any problems with the BMW outdrive. The block cracked on me after a very cold winter and I had not drained it properly, (my fault) and that spelled the end for me and that boat, but the outdrive preformed flawlessly during that time.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
