With a dollar-fifty for a bottle of wine,
I know just what I'm lookin for
Thunderbird will do just fine.
hmm, what kind of drive is in there? im interested to know how they get the angular offset. are you taking yours apart? if so, take pics.
edit: one of those with dual outputs would be killa for a rockwell or tractor axle rig.
I have seen some outboards with a angled drive. I would guess its a spur gear.Originally Posted by agjohn02

That isn't in mine, it's in the generic manual I found online. Mine is just a little straight through clutch unit.

ah, so your waterpump is facing the front of the boat?
i think thats what its showing on the right, mike. two helical gears and a spur gear. so, its basically a gear driven t-case with a pinion for an output shaft. cool.

yes. however if you were going to have to build a new one with dual outputs, it would be easy to incorporate some reduction.
i said rockwell/ tractor axles becasue they are both center differentials. arent rocks centered?
It looks to me like the top gear on the V-drive might be a larger diameter than the output gear so this would be an "overdrive" for lack of better terms would it not. Jimmy, I think this may have been the reduction he was talking about, not your straight clutch system...
RESURRECT!!!
Yanked the motor out of Irene tonight, hopefully it's the head gasket. Water in the motor for sure, but nothing looks cracked or too rusty to clean up. We'll know for sure tomorrow night when we get it torn down the rest of the way. I can feel my bank accout hurting already. Anyone know how credit cards work? I have to pay the money back right?

I thought about you last weekend while I was driving my 351 powered ski boat at 45 mph around the lake. It sure runs good, sounds great too
