Hi Dan,
If it's making noise or vibrating, if there's water in the oil or no oil at all, or if the engine turns but the propeller doesn't…
All kidding aside, those drives should last the same time as the engine – they're industrial v-drives that are designed to give long service life with minimal maintenance. Look for hot running (over 130 or 140 degrees F) or unusual noises.

How do you know when the V-drive is getting long in the tooth and needs some TLC?
