Hello Boaters! I am new to the forum but a long time boater. I recently picked up a 19.5ft 1985 Bayliner Cuddy with a 5.0L OMC/Cobra outdrive. I got it on the cheap and needs a few things but I am running into conflicting data when it comes to getting the upper gears for the outdrive. I am not sure how to tell if my OMC is a Ford or Chevy 5.0L which apparently makes a difference in the upper gears for the outdrive. My outdrive is a Model 985271 but when I search for replacement gears there is a 21/17 and a 21/18 option. They don't give these away so I need to ensure that I order the right ones. Just want to make sure that I get this right so any help is truly appreciated. Also, where is the best pricing on these? I am not against used gears either so if someone has some laying around contact me and I will be glad to put them to use. Thanks again!
