I have a 4.3GL paired with a sx-m outdrive gear ratio 1.79 that has a bad upper and lower seals that leak. By bad upper I mean the pinion bearing carrier is seized up and the drive shaft is bent. I have an offer to buy this complete outdrive with gear ratio 1.60 from a guy that had it on an '07 sea ray paired with a 5.0GL for $1000. Comes with prop, gimbal housing and everything shown.

Can anyone tell me which drive this is and if it will bolt up to my boat. Any issues with the gear ration being different? I've read that I may have to switch props but the new outdrive comes with a prop so that shouldn't be an issue.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks and hope everyone had a great 4th of July!!

Personally, I can't offer any input on what kind of drive it is, but I will tell you, if you have the "wrong" reduction ratio, you won't be able to "prop size" your way to happiness.
