I bought a 1995 Wellcraft with the 5.7 L Mercruiser back in August 2011. The previous owner hit bottom and had a dealer put a SEI outdrive on. In April 2012 I took the boat in for a new throttle cable and they had pointed out that the upper unit gears have some wear which will eventually fail in time. I decided to have them throw on a brand new mercruiser outdrive. Attached are pictures of both the SEI and Mercruiser. The gear wear sure looks pretty similar. Is it pretty normal?
