SD 50 sail drives (How many hours do you have?)

Hello, I am looking at purchasing a cat with sd 50 sail drives (approx 2500 hrs). My questions is how many hours do you have on yours? How many at your last rebuild? The vessel I am looking at has not been hauled in three years. Talks with surveyors have expressed the zinks mostly likely are gone and corrosion to the drive is also likely. Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Re: SD 50 sail drives (How many hours do you have?)

If they are likely unmaintained and corroded, do you want them anyway? Is it somewhere you can stick it on a beach / ramp somewhere to take a look? Even getting it hauled for inspection will potentially be a lot cheaper than buying knackered saildrives, plus you can look at other stuff.

Thanks Muddy! Yes I am planning on a full survey of any vessel we choose. Looking for expected life span not counting the neglect this one has suffered. Thanks again.
