Chris craft 312 omc 460 outdrive gear question
Hello everyone,
I am new to the offshoreboat world as my other hobby is jeepin, it was always a dream of mine to have an offshore boat and now I bought a chris craft 312 from 1988 with the omc king cobra engine package
But their is one thing where i'm not shure of, witch is the upper outdrive gear ratio. Because my strb upper gear is broken and now that i have taken it out i saw that my upper gear ratio is 21/16 and this sould be 21/17 with the omc 460's.
Is this bad or should i just leave the 21/16ratio and put other props on it instead of the stock ones.
Thanks Rien

Thanks for the reply
The problem is that i can't afford two new upper gear sets including all other expences, because the port side outdrive will also have the 21/16 upper gear ratio and if i want to put it back to oem than i have to replace both :s so is there maybe an other solution ? 21/16 and an another pitch ?
Thanks
