Looking for a gear linkage for a 1988 Voyager 28
I dont know if this is the right place to be asking this but I have a 1988 Voyager 28 with twin Chev 305's and V Drives.
One of the linkages from the V Drive to the prop shaft is bent and I'm trying to find a replacement.
It is a Walter V-Drive with 1 1?4" shaft and standard SAE taper with 5/16" key.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Cheers
Rob

Re: Looking for a gear linkage for a 1988 Voyager 28
I have attached a graphic from the manual outlining the prop shaft coupling and thats the bit that seems to have worn 'out of true' from when the previous owner put it in crooked.
I can access this from in the boat so no problem there and its currently on its mooring anyway.
Hope this helps. I can photograph the segment when I go over the to boat on the weekend if necessary though.
Cheers

Shaft size
Flange diameter
Couple type, tapper, split, reverse taper, etc.
Transmission type
A good prop shop should match a replacement. Go on line and search "inboard shaft coupler"

Thanks for that. Both myself and my mechanic have been unable to find anything here in New Zealand hence my trying a little further afield.
It is a Walter V-Drive with 1 1/4" shaft and standard SAE taper with 5/16" key.

Re: Looking for a gear linkage for a 1988 Voyager 28
If it's in the condition you describe, unfortunately you may need to dress/machine the tranny flange. If it's warped as a result of the coupler's condition, you need to make sure that gets corrected first. It would have to come off and sent into a shop to be refaced or you'll still have a vibration no matter what you do.
