All. Sorry for this seemingly simple question, but for me it has been daunting. I Have looked high and low and cannot find the rubber gasket that goes between the outdrive and the boat. My searches all result in bellows kits and the drive/bell housing gasket. Am I using the wrong terminology for this gasket? My outdrive is a pre-alpha; serial number is 3392031. I could go buy a sheet of neoprene and "have a go" but would prefer to order the proper item.

Thank you.
Russ

You need gasket #44 in the picture below. Depends if you have trim sender or not which one.
