Both engines and transmissions have 3,000 hours. Checked port trams. screen yesterday and it was clean. The job was a 9 line B-tch. It only took me 6 hours to clean it with all the things I had to remove just to get to it. Stbd. trans. will only take 30 to 45 min. to do because of where it's located. Lubed the shift selector. Will let you know how it checks out after the next bay cruise. Bob
