I've installed a new complete 106 stern drive on my boat and I'm really paranoid of the top bearing exploding like the old drive did, so bear with me. :)
Just wondering how hot the top plate should get while operating. When we come up to speed(today was the first time - we've been breaking it in slowly), I noticed that the top plate was almost too hot to put a hand on it. Is that normal? Please say yes - and mean it... Once we slow down and it gets covered with water, it cools right down. I just worry about an extended run at speed.
Thanks
