#7 drives?
Hi.
I have found a pair of #7 drives with 1:1 ratio for diesels but i can't find any info about these drives, are they the same as #6? is there parts for them? Regards Jocke |
I'd suggest you search around here, it's been up before.
Don't know much about them, but they are not like the #6's. You might be able to bolt on a #6 lower, but I'm not sure. The lower is very different. They where not in production for long, not a big hit. If you need #6's, I'd suggest you look for #6's. |
#7's were designed for use with diesels, hence the high ratios. They share some parts with the #6's, but the ratios were all different, and I think the lower is different entirely.
|
Thanks, is it possible to find spareparts for them? i'm thinking of using them with diesels but if it is impossible to find parts i will have to go with something else.
What are they worth with everything including props and steering? |
Here are the parts for the 7 drive to look through.

What could a pair of ssm 7 be worth?

Have you already purchased the drives? You should look for something else. Depending on your max rpm, you might not need a high ratio. I remember reading some info about prop speed being the key to good diesel performance. You could look for a set of ASD #8's. Stronger and lighter than a #6, and have shown to work great with not only gas, but also diesels. What kind of boat are they going on, and what is your budget for drives? |
No i have not bought them yet, if i want i could trade them for my chris craft stinger 312.
Yes i would rather have arnesons but the boat (scarab meteor 5000) has a notched transom and do not know if that would work, i had ASD 8 with 16" dropboxes on my last boat a chris cat and they're great. ASD8 without dropbox 1:1 ratio would be the best choise and they're less expensive than most speedmasters. |
