"I bought a 1976 bayliner Skag
"I bought a 1976 bayliner Skagit with a 190HP Ford V8 attached to a electric shift OMC stringer drive awhile back. Well the upper gear housing is locked up (gears are all messed up), so I found a whole stringer outdrive near my house on ebay, here is the link:

This unit is electric shift, it was bolted to a V8, and it has the steering gear I need, but what about the gears in the upper housing? I know these things can have different gears in the upper housing but is it going to affect/not work if the gear ratio is alittle different from the stringer drive that is attached to my Ford V8 now or does it not really matter (it pretty much will work with all V8s)? Also what does it mean that it says it is a "Long Profile"? Any help with this would be great!!"
