Hey guys, I am wondering if the bellhousing for an aq260 and one for a aq205 are the same and will they bolt up. I am assuming my aq205 has a 153 tooth flywheel but not quite sure. Thanks for the help.

Re: Aq260 and Aq205 bellhousing the same?

it is the DP-A. I think the old one CAN be salvageable but as I informed you a couple months ago, I had an issue with the snap ring that has no holes at all to get a snap ring on it. I went to Ax-Man in the Midway area and bought a few different dental tools to reach in the groove, but that sucker is really stuck in there,also I am bending the tools as they aren't strong enough to get under that ring. So, I figured since it does have some damage to the outer part of the housing that the boot would go over (it would definitely clamp on, but the edges are pretty sharp), I would buy a good used one on e-bay and start from scratch. Like I said before, I have given up on this, but you told me not to since I have gotten so far on it. By the way, how are this biting in Chisago Lakes area? Has to be alot better than the Dead Sea (Mille Lacs) lol

I still can't understand the snap rings with no holes!!!:eek: What a PITA!


Have you got the flywheel housing out of the boat and on a bench?

I don't know about the fishing here, the lakes are so low I can barely get my boat in at any of the landings. I've been boating over on Deer lake, in WI. Good fishing there.;)
