"First, thanks again for earli
"First, thanks again for earlier replies in getting started on the revamp of the Alpha 1 drive unit that was leaking water into the bilge. On pulling system apart, I found the the exhaust and drive shaft bellows were in perfect shape, and only the shift cable bellows was torn. However I will replace all, plus water hose and impellor. While at it, I am also replacing all six trim system hoses.
Have ordered all parts, to arrive next week.
I notice the online pictures of the bell housing gasket set shows several o-rings that I do not yet know where they go, or if are actually used on my drive. When taking apart my 1988 model Alpha 1 drive, I found the large flat bell housing gasket, an o-ring for the water passage, and the large ring that fits in the drive shaft opening. But the gasket set picture shows a couple of smaller o-rings that do not appear to exist on my unit.
Can you tell me what these small o-rings are for, or do they simply make the gasket set adaptible for a wider range of drive unit models?
Thanks, and maybe this will be the last question I have for this job."
