I think you mean outdrives, and those engines didn't have outdrives, they are V-drives. ------------------------- UC FANS 1999, 52' Monticello - Miller Tyme Port of Aurora IN

If you have any specific questions, I might be able to help. I also have schematics and an owners manual. ------------------------- Gettin' Dumber Every Day Edited: 08/30/2010 at 11:49:46 AM by SomeDumbGuy
