The boat is a 1996 Four Winns Sundowner 205 5.0 Ford with the OMC Cobra / Volvo SX collaboration setup.

Today I removed the drive and changed the gimble bearing.

Now I need new gasket(s) to refit the drive but I'm not sure what gaskets I need. I have had the drive off and changed the gaskets before but that was over 2 years ago. I forget which gaskets were the correct ones, I bought incorrect gaskets before getting it right last time.

Are the gaskets in this link correct for this drive? https://repowermarine.com/outdrive-mounting-gasket-for-volvo-penta-sx-omc.html . If so do I need any other gaskets?

This is a long running thread I started shortly after buying the boat https://forums.iboats.com/threads/1996-four-winns-sundowner-with-5-0-cobra-engine-and-drive.766501/

Looks like it. That style of drive is just like the Volvo SX so it does not use a gasket between the pivot housing & outdrive like the original dog clutch Cobra does. Only the irregular shaped oring for the water passage area. The 2 orings are for the driveshaft.

I would though coat the edges of the pivot housing & drive where they join together with marine grease.
