Hey everyone,
Thinking about my cone clutch IMCO SCX drive, it drives me nuts shifting it because the engine is borderline on the recommended rpm and sometimes doesn't totally drop rpms enough and the result is a good hard clunk when it shifts. I cant imagine that's any good on the cone clutch. I've been spoiled by our other boat that has a Velvet digital shift transmission and its like shifting a car its so smooth.
So, the question is, what would it take to add the IMCO extension box and transmission and turn this SCX into an SCXT? Would you simply take the cone clutch out of the SCX and replace with a regular shaft? Obviously have to buy the extension box and transmission and have that mounted to the boat. Does that take a different bolt pattern and require major transom work?
It seems the extension box really pulls the drive up, which could change the dynamics of how the boat handles and runs, so I'm sure there would be more cons than pros to this.
Anyone know what transmission IMCO uses in this setup? Like a BAM or Huber or Velvet? - ETA: Their website says BAM so thats the answer to that.
