Just a quick update. After getting the new transom assemblies and engines back in I decided to replace both stern drives as well so the old ones with their many coats of anti fouling are now gone and replaced with all brand new shiny mercruiser black sei drives with new props as well :clap: hasn't been to cheap, though I'm so happy to have it all new such a great feeling. Just finishing a few little things and should be in the water in a couple of weeks. Will post pics. Cheers from oz

Unfortunately no. I thought about it but I got a great deal buying the two 1.84 ratio drives ( original ratio ) as they were the last two they had in this ratio.not that the new 1.81 would make much difference but the $1000 savings was enough to persuade me to keep it as it came out from carver with both rotating the same way.
