 MB HDR?
Anybody got any stick time on one? In the market for a new motor & wondering how the new features are performing. I know this forum has been anti-MB for some time but it seems like MB might have cleaned up their act a little and am considering making the switch.

 Re: MB HDR?
I've got a little over ten hours on mine and starting to get a feel for it. It's been a really nice motor so far

 Re: MB HDR?
Got right at 10 hours on mine, so far she's been a hoss and have had nothing wrong at all with it yet. Very good running motor IMO

 Re: MB HDR?
Anybody have any experience with the Sport V in comparison? Is the Reverse on this motor that much better?

 Re: MB HDR?
The reverse will be different just due to the drive design and length. I can't tell you because I've never ride in one just seen a couple. I prefer a longer outdrive.

 Re: MB HDR?
Got 60 hours and no issues yet. Very happy. Reverse is tough as well.

 Re: MB HDR?
I'm happy with mine at a little over 30 hours. Personally, I wouldn't even consider the sport v with this motor on the market. The reverse is damn sure a nice convenience.

 Re: MB HDR?
Do they offer a retro fit kit yet? I heard they were going to offer it for the older motors.

 Re: MB HDR?
2600 to retro fit your existing outdrive, 3500 to get the new stainless outdrive, skeg, and cav plate. And they'll only take orders from march-may.

 Re: MB HDR?
Until mb says it publicly, I won't believe it. Last public post from ***** was what I stated above. There were lots of the "it'll cost 1700" floating around. It's only been a week since he said that.

 Re: MB HDR?
They completely changed what was in the kit, which is why the price increase happened. They are designing a skeg that attaches to the old outdrives to test. I wired mine with original handle and football, just added a relay, without having to pull any new wires. As for price that something they are advertising right now, and yes there will be a small window they are available.
