The VPDP comes out, then the Bravo 3, Volvo comes out with IPS, Merc comes out with Zues, VP forward drive comes out
then the Bravo 4….not a lot of imagination up in Fon Du Lac in the stern drive department

The Black Hawk was
the exception, but they killed that off in only 2 years

Let me know if you need anything, it’s turning into yard art.
I'm looking for TRS lower units for my '87 BAJA FORCE 320.

I just sold one of the trs to tartilla, what prop rotation do you need, as I can’t remember which one he took, also I never used these so I do not know the condition of them. Let me know what rotation you need, also I am away for work all week and will not be home till Saturday or Sunday

I will check when home, I do not want to separate upper and lower, this drive is 48 years old, I am very leery of selling them as I don’t know the condition of the internals. You maybe better off trying to find a lower that’s in good shape, versus shipping one of these giant beasts of unknown condition

Your right, all I really need is the lower case.
