out drive

[brian3127]

i need to buy a new gasket set for my outdrive.
the serial number in the picture of the outdrive
is that enough information to order the right one

That's the transom housing serial number the outdrive serial is located by the vent plug on the upper housing- just below it. It will be not only in the sticker but also stamped in the metal is the sticker is gone or damaged.

Woops my bad: this is the transom seal, BT has the answer

That's it brings it right up same as the drive would

ok thanks guys.
1 more question. most people on here says to pull the drive every year to do Maint. i took my outdrive off last year because we pulled the motor to have it rebuilt.
does that mean you put new bell house gasket and o-rings every time or are they reusable

new gaskets and o-rings

 

[brian3127]

new gaskets and o-rings

That's what I figured
thanks.

I couldn’t find the serial number on the outdrive above the vent hole.
It says alpha 1 though.

Would this be the alignment tool I need also
