All this talk of winterizing and shop rates, I'm re-considering having the shop do my out drive maintenance!<br />I'm trying to determine if I should have the shop do it, or myself. <br /><br />I'm going to call the local shop tomorrow and see what they charge, so in the meantime I'd like to see how much the DIY'er can do it for.<br /><br />Ok, on to my main question:<br /><br />I need to know EXACTLY what parts I will need before I tear into my drive.<br /><br />I want to replace the water pump/impeller and related seals and gaskets. It's time, as the boat is a 2001 and it has never been taken apart.<br />it's spent 99% of it's life in fresh water.<br /><br />Ok, so here's my info:<br /><br />Purchased 2001<br /><br />Mercruiser 305 (2bbL)<br />Engine # 0M001347<br />Drive # 0L884418<br /><br />Some web sites list different parts for the same model which for the first timer...is confusing!<br /><br />I just need to know what to get.<br />I'd love to learn to do this kind of work myself... even if my back can't handle it...Cause I know my wallet won't at the local screwlearhip! 
<br /><br /><br />Thanks for all the help,<br /><br /><br />H.
