"1980 Carver 2667 Santa Cruz. 351W PCM, Velvet Drive Trany, Walter V-Drive. Could any one tell me the proper lube for a Walter V-Drive.

Also, I suspect the cooling system may be "hosed"
Cooling system is all suction, not positive pressure. Suction thru the seacock, strainer, V-Drive, Tranny cooler, then to engine mounted seawater pump inlet. Discharge of pump "positive" to therostat housing, then out the exhaust manifolds. It seems to cool ok but it just seems backwards?
Seawater pump manufacturers all say the suction to the pump should be as close to, and directly off of the strainer and be "pushed" thru everything. I don't know if this was ever changed. I'm about the third owner.
TIA
