V-Drive info

[R.Nichols]

Hi.
I'm new to this site but from what I;ve seen it looks like a good one. Have a 1966 Wild Cat 18' flattie with a 425 Olds and a Thoroughbred v-drive. The boat is all original and runs great. Last time out the v-drive blew a seal or something and filled with water. I can't find any info on it or if parts are available. Does anybody have any info this type of drive????

Well, they been out of business for 30+ years so parts are scarce, but bearings and seals are common everyday stuff at your local bearing house, and gaskets are no biggie to make, if it filled up with water you need to strip it down and check everything and check all the bearings carefully!..
