"GIGO
The last 800 was produced in 1985.
You say the drive is 1989.
Yet, the number 982461 is the model number for a 1983 800 mechanical
302sthrcom employs a 400 series drive, not 800.
So,
No, a 1989 drive will not fit.
No, a 982461 drive is not compatible, but Yes, it will fit your intermediate housing."

"cool, thanks for the info. i'm new to the sterndrive world (like about 2weeks into it).
i was trying to save on a shift cable (982951). had a friend with a working 800 drive so thought i'd save some $$$ if i could.
thanks again

"no, I'm saying a 982461 drive will bolt up to a stringer intermediate.
Because 982461 is a 1983 800 series mechanical stringer drive, not a 1989 as erroneously stated by the wookiemonster.

ergo the GIGO

"ya, my bad.
the '89' thing came from the seller on kijiji. i'm new new new to sterndrive and just tryin to save some dough on the shift cable. the 800 drive complete was $150 cheaper than the damn cable :p"
