I've searched this forum for more detailed information regarding the operation of the clutch plates but could not find such information.
The outdrive is no longer supported by the clutch.
I have installed a new electric motor which operated the system fine without the weight of the outdrive.
I pulled the clutch plates-rusty and dirty with water and oil mixed. Worm gear appears fine, only 1 pin on the shaft (not 2 like later models).
So the plates are somewhat pitted and I wire brushed what I could without taking off the coating. I used brake cleaner then soaked them in oil.
Still not enough pressure to hold up outdrive.
What are the solutions?
New clutch plates and seal pack?
I will definitely be packing grease into the worm gear area after reading up on these marvels of design.
I may have a line on a local used clutch pack, which if clean may be the answer.
I saw that someone has used a pin in their clutch pack which probably is not a great idea if I hit a rock at speed.
Thank you
