V Drive problem. replace or rebuild?
My v drive started making a horrible noise and when i pulled the dip stick the oil was burnt. Can I remove v drive while in the water? should I rebuild or buy a re manufactured? Is there a instruction manual how to remove and replace? As always, any advise is greatly appreciated. 1978 Carver voyager twin 350 crusaders.

Re: V Drive problem. replace or rebuild?
If you end up doing it yourself, would be great to post pics and steps you took to get it out.
I don't believe there is any mystery to doing it other than disconnecting everything and muscling it out.
May want some help when reinstalling to align everything.

Re: V Drive problem. replace or rebuild?
No reason not to rebuild unless it's found to be unsalvagable after opening it up. A rebuild or a reman is only as good as the people that did it though so do your homework. It's not brain surgery to remove but may involve an alignment when re-installing. Is this a Walter V-Drive separate from the engine?

Re: V Drive problem. replace or rebuild?
Thanks for the reply. I believe it is a Walter directly installed to engine. Waybomb I will record and post steps. Thanks.
