The NEW MUD BUDDY SPORT V Q: Are gears stronger than belts? A: Both drives work very well. Our belt drive is rated for 105 horse. Our Sport V cone clutch gears built by Mercury Marine are rated at over 500 horse. Q: But a belt flexes, will the gears take impact? A: First of all our gears are rated for five times more horsepower. We didnt stop there - we incorporated a custom flex coupler between the engine and transmission which effectively cushions impacts and drive harmonics. Another benefit is a very, very smooth ride. You wont believe you are driving a mud motor. Q: Are gear drives more efficient than belt drives? A: Both belt and gear drives are within .02% as efficient of each other. Gears being slightly more. Testing shows our Sport V is slightly faster than our belt drives. Only .7 mph on the average, but a little more. Q: Is the Sport V drive tough? A: The new Sport V has a up to 1/2 thick hardened aluminum cast drive with a 1/4 stainless skeg. Q: Does the Sport V drive turn easy? A: The 27 drive and longer handle are impressively easy to steer. Q: Will the Sport V drive run deep mud? A: We tested the Sport V 27 drive last year and it does just as well as the 27 Sport belt drive. The frame dimensions are the same. Q: Will brush cause the handle mounted shift to come out of gear? A: The shift handle is moved from one gear to the other by squeezing the throttle shift trigger. This unlocks the lever and allows it to be moved from one gear to another. This protects the lever from accidental shifting. Q: What is the Sport V vibration level? A: The Sport V was vibration tested by Briggs and Stratton and the engineers agreed it was impressive. The Sport V advanced frame design has vibration dampers at three locations making it the smoothest running mud motor ever built. Q: Is the Sport V drive quiet? A: You will be impressed. They have marine outboard components. Q: Is the new Sport Series reliable? A: The most common mud motors failures are engine, clutch, clutch switch, trim, drive seals and drive bearings. We eliminated the clutch and clutch switch. We also eliminated the belt, belt tensioning and drive greasing. We proudly use the industrys most reliable BPS engines, the Mercury 8200 pound trim unit and the Mud Buddy patented drive seal system. The Sport V drive bearings are 500% stronger than anything on the market today and used on 500 horsepower stern drives. However, even though the Sport V drives are simple and tough, anything can be broken. We cover our products with the industrys best warranty, to include our performance motors and commercial use.
