V-Drive question for Eric or anybody

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have the V-Drive unit away from the trans but not far enough to remove. The v-drive aluminum hull mounts are angled up towrds the front. This makes the v-drive unit bind while sliding away from the trans. My question is: what do I do to be able to slide forward without binding? There are a lot of options and I just want the right one. Thank you all.

	I normally remove the trans as a complete unit, it may be a little tough the way you are attacking it. can I ask what is wrong with your v-drive? i got a call the other day for a complete new unit, was that you? they are economically rebuildable and if you need parts call TMI 800-462-8848 (Chris) or you will have to call Walter's direct......ask for Don at Walter's

	nothing wrong with v-drive except leaky gaskets. I am removing this myself without a lift. I do see how one can remove the trans and v-drive unit together without a lift. That was not me for the new unit. What should I take off, v-drive/hull mounts (alminum) or the brackets off the v-drive unit or none of the above.

	i wouldnt move the brackets to far, it will really throw your alignment out, but again your going to check right? you'll wish you had a midship mount after doing the alignment on the boat

	I will check alignment. I will figure how to slide the v drive unit away. I will deal with the difficult alignment for a better wakeboard wake.It seems like if I bolt up the trans and then bolt up the trans to v-drive, bolt the v-drive to shaft coupling. After that I can bolt together the mounting brackets. That should line up due to correct alignment at disassembly time.
