The outdrive on my 87 Forrester Phantom is in bad shape. Last year I resealed it because after a run around the lake it was filled with water, and had no problems for the remainder of last season. This year while repainting the boat, I was sanding the leading edge of the lower unit and found where the previous owner repaired a hole with fiberglass (the gear oil started weeping out). I drained the unit, cleaned the repair, added more glass, and crossed my fingers. While on the water today I noticed I am leaking gear oil, no water in the outdrive, and a very slow leak. Now to my question, will the outdrive from my 89 bayliner capri cobra 2.3 work on my 87 cobra 3.0? I plan on just unbolting the unit and swap them over. The 2.3 outdrive looks to be in awesome shape, although it's been sitting for a couple years. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
