I have an older 24ft boat with a ford 302 engine and a Penta Outdrive with serial number PZNR 2509839B

I have learned the "B" is for an 8 cyl I am assuming its a penta 250?

need to pull the engine, found out it won't come out without pulling the trans as well? anyway, I ended up pulling the outdrive and found the bellows were torn. the u-joints are all rusted but move freely. the shaft did not come out with the drive. The bolts on the bottom of the trans housing are stripped so i will have to find a way to grind them off to get the motor out....ugggggg anyway, the oil in the outdrive was all white and thick.

is this a 250? I don't see any threads on a volvo pental 250

How much work and money for me to rebuild this outdrive?

My very first boat, and well, cars are one thing, I am learning boats are another....


Im up for the challenge I think : )

What year? Profile, location? Pics?
Usually the shaft is a seperate unit and is held in place by snap rings.
Salt or fresh water? If it's been soaking in salt water the u-joints should probably be replaced.
The drives front yoke and sealMaybe needs replacing?
The drive needs to be drained and pressure tested.
