I need a lower shift cable set, an o-ring kit for the u-joint and a gasket for the outside section of the transom plate (bell housing? gimbal housing?)
OD Serial: 0D316030
Transom Serial #: 0D321249
So far i have this, but i have no idea if these are the right ones, as none of the serial #'s listed even contain a letter, let alone a D in them:
Sierra 18-2840 Bell Housing Gasket (or 18-2743)? No idea if this is correct, as it looks completely different (the original gasket was just a foam bead which ran along the outside edge of the gimbal housing (on the outside of the transom, sandwiched between the transom itself and the outdrive)
Sierra 18-2603 Lower Shift Cable Kit
Sierra 18-2648 Upper Unit Seal Kit
Do these look correct?
I would provide Iboats links, but all of the links have session and cart IDs attached
Are there sections of the repair manual which contain part #'s along with parts breakdowns? All I can find is where it tells you what the part is, but no part #'s. The part names are truly unhelpful, with names like 'o-ring'..
I also cannot find where there is a parts breakdown for the gimbal housing itself, just the drive shaft housing.
I realize these may seem like basic issues, but I'm just having a hard time figuring out what parts go to what drive (gen 1 and 2 are almost never specified) and what parts are called. I really wish there was a way to select "I have serial # such-and-such, filter to only parts for that" or "I have an Alpha One Gen 1 outdrive, filter parts to that". This whole some gaskets have 5 holes, some have 6, or some look grey and some look black, otherwise they seem identical stuff is horrible. It must be a boat thing, as I have yet to run across a more frustrating system of parts finding.
