Hi Joe,

We could be a little more help if you tell us who made the engine package (Mercruiser, Volvo, OMC, BMW, Yamaha) and maybe a year it was made. Then we would know what you are talking about.

So far we know the boat is an 87 based on the hull id is bl3b925jb87, the lower drive number you posted of 985042, is it possible it was really 984042? If so that tells me the drive is off an 87 OMC Cobra 3.0 ltr. You should be able to find the engine model number, probably on the rocker cover and if it's an 87 as well then it should end in one of these ARJ, ARY, FTC, SRC, SRY
