Re: Identify this Drive
UPDATE: As the story goes, I couldn't figure out how the antique reverse lock worked and neither could a older Mercruiser mechanic here locally. He gave me some song and dance but I could tell he was full of BS. So I did some southern engineering and modified the linkage and actually got it to lock down in reverse and release in forward. Sometimes I amaze myself. But during the surgery on the boat, we noticed that the owner had failed to block off the hole where the exhaust Y would bolt up. He was using through hull exhaust. I pulled the drive off last month and looked straight into the boat. So a plate was cut and bolted in place to block off what would have been a major water leak. Schooled the owner on the reason for the shift interupt switch and why it should be connected. So we left late yesterday evening with the intructions to get up a list of what he wanted us to do the next time we come over. Maybe with a bit of luck we can have this thing in the water for him by spring.
