SSM 3 questions?
Sorry for my ignorance guys, new to the older drives as I've only had experience with Bravo applications. Have an 85 12 meter fountain that I believe has SSM #3's on it, 1 1/2" prop shafts, 19 spline- #3's correct? I could'nt see a drive ratio stamped into the upper, I assume 1.5:1? Just took the props off to see what props were on it, 16.5X24 4" hub. Noticed the the starboard drive was missing the black outter prop shaft seal? Boat hasnt ran in na few years and were are putting new power in it, 540 ci n/a shooting for around 675 HP with a little over 700 tq. What kind of HP ratings are these drives ok up too and does anyone know what seal that may be? looking at the merc diagram I only see pt# 26-19473 but that doesnt look like a black rubber shaft seal? Thanks for any advice or comments you may be able to provide. MIKE

Propshaft and seal look like they go in from the back
