Hi,
Overall I am happy with my Impulse, except that I have had several flex drives fail.
They are getting hot right on the bend of the brass tube and they eventually get so hot that they melt and break. Each time I loose the shaft, prop and chew up the teflon tube.
After my second one failed I spoke to my LHS and they just said that I did not lube the drive correctly. I explained that I am not a noob, and I have been FE boating for about 3+ years with about 6 boats, therefore I do appreciate the need for satisfactory lubrication of the drive system. I believe that it is the poor quality of the stock flex; therefore I do not really want another stock replacement.
I know OSE sell a better quality replacement which I am thinking of purchasing, but it is quite expensive to ship to Australia so I would like to know if anyone else had had a similar problem before I potentially destroy another one.
