Well.....nuts. Ain't at the shop so I can't lend anymore info. The iboats store only goes back to 58' and I ain't sure Sierra goes back any further either. I got the parts breakdown manuals at the shop......I know.....lotta good there........:'(.

Well maybe one of the "old" guys will come along and offer some advice or tell ya' where to look real quick.

I can probably re-use whats there (wanted to peak inside at the gears, etc), but what does one use or prefer for some sort of sealant? I got a mess of options in my box of tricks, but a little experience from someone is better than me trying to experiment! Always gets me in trouble.
