I plan to seal my upper drive in a 1984 stringer. The boat has a 3.8v6, and I believe the outdrive is a 800 series. I have done a lot of reading on here, and other places, and I believe I can re-seal it, but I need to know a few things. I want to know what parts I need to buy. I plan to buy the seal kit for the outdrive, but does it come with all the seals? The water pump seals seem to be a problem in this outdrive, do they come with the kit? It doesn't need a pump, but I'm not opposed to putting one in if suggested. Also what should I look for while I have it apart, and are there any supprises I should watch for during disassembly? I have the clymer manual, which I know isn't the best one to have, but has anyone used one with any success? Is there anything else you would suggest replacing while I have it off? I'm really excited to get into this project, I love a challenge. Any and all imput is welcome.
Thanks
James
