V-DRIVES
Just recently had my Port V-Drive rebuilt. Only had about 5 hours on it when we began a trip. Cruised for 1 hour and stopped for awhile to swim took off and cruised for an hour to a marina for the night. next morning took off for a 3 hour cruise. after just over 2 hours I began to feel a slight vibration an after about 10 minute's an alarm sounded and I was coming from the portside. determined it was the high temp alarm on the transmission. shut the engine down and started it again several times and the alarm finally went off. Allowed the engine to idle for several minutes and then continued the trip. No vibration and ran good. Next day cruising home we traveled about 2 1/2 hours and stopped for gas. Had a difficult time shifting into neutral and reverse. When I started the engine after refueling the shifter worked smoothly. We continued the cruise home and had no other problems.
So would you consider this as being break-in issues? Any thoughts?
Thanks for your input.
