Is GLM seal good enough? Both of my old and regular outdrive are leaking. I have arranged mechanic to reseal it because I do not have tools. Also I have saperated the yoke. Can the old style outdrive work after I change the joke with regular length? It seems the propeller has some issue.

No, nothing GLM is any good.

Yes. Either yoke will fit either drive.

I bought the old style outdrive by accidently. This time I prefer to the old style outdrive to be reseal because I am sure only upper unit of my old outdrive is leaking because the lower unit was just rebuilt by other.

Is the cap of old style outdrive broken?

Also Can I apply the propeller to old style outdrive?

Hi Chris,

Today I applied the regular yoke to the old style outdrive and mount it into my engine and start the engine. At the beginning it was running good even I put it forward. But after I put it into reverse, the engine stopped to run. Later the situation become worse, it was difficult to start the engine and sometime I saw the smoke at the top of engine with a special explosion voice

I remembered that it was running good without outdrive.

What is the next? Is possible the old style outdrive has some issue. I have checked the gear works for forward and reverse and netrual. Also I am sure there is 6 inches for the shift cable.

at the top of engine, I am only sure that shift cable works. But maybe the lengths of other two also have been changed during taking off and mounting on.

If you change to another dive you need to make again the shift cable adjustment.
