Pete recommends using a drill bit to measure the space in the packing nut.

Dont call SkiDIM, they may not be sure. They couldnt tell what I needed on my '90 or dad's '03 with absolute certainty. Measure it!

^^agreed!!^^
They are knowledgeable about inboard stuff, not specificaly Correct Craft stuff. I think they are more cautious than anything when recommending specific part for specific models. That said, I do use them, but try to have my needs sorted out first.
