Looking at a 1972 Gibson 36' houseboat with Chrysler 318 and a paragon trans anybody know what out-drive might be attached to this and if any parts might still be available?:frusty:
Ayuh,.... Pictures,... We need Pictures....
Seein's My '69 Nauti-line has twin 318s, 'n they're turnin' Dana drives,...
I'm guessin' yer lookin' at Danas too...
Though mine don't have trannies 'tween 'em... just a hyd. clutch,...
The parts are all still available, So far, at Marysville Marine, in Marysville Mich...
Pics you shall have

Maybe that's a clutch. Since I have never seen one like that before.
Have to get a pic of it next time on dock. Dont' think its a Mercruiser. Had boat similar to this one a long time ago with Dana drive and its reverse function that holds drive down while in reverse had rotted away. Don't what that again!!!
Ayuh,... Parts for those Dana drives are still available at Marysville Marine, in Marysville Mich...
Ya Coulda fixed it...
Unfortunately hauling the boat out to find out what is missing then ordering then haul again would cost more than its worth. That's why I hoping that it's all there. Do you by any chase know if any of those Dana drives had hydraulic tilt like Merc.
Ayuh,.... The 2 on my houseboat,.... It's vaguely like a Merc, as it's Hyd...
But the parts yer talkin' 'bout are part of the shift linkages,....
This one does not have the cable coming out the back attached to the drive. Because the trans is inside. So I don't know how all that locking linkage works on this one.
Marysville Marine Distributors is open 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday.
