You can't use that pan for your boat if you are running the drive shaft off the flywheel. You need a v-drive pan & oil pump pick up as your engine is in the boat backwards. V-drive pans also have baffels with little trap doors that open backwards from a standard pan.
Look into a Dooley pan. They are not cheep but someone might have a used one.
For your v-drive, it most likely needs new bearings and your driveshaft needs new u-joints. Don't skimp here as if one of them fails your sitting right next to it.
I would send your v-drive off to Tom @ Menkins for new bearings and have him check out the gear setup.

anybody got a used pan and pick up for sale? I didnt think that pan would work. SD dont you sell a bearing puller for that box .Is it really hard to rebuild them?

[V-Drive Tom]

SWW, MAN its REALY REALY REALY hard to rebuild it! Just kidding.. http://free.***boat.net/ubb/biggrin.gif Go for it! If I can help, call me. TOM..(it ain't brain work, but you do have to watch out for certian things)

If that's the pan that was with the boat, the motor was probably being turned off the balancer end, if I remember right we ran most of our boats off the balancer end until we went to the runner bottoms, I think it was a circle boat thing????
Tom, What do you do with the extra pieces when you are done rebuild one????LOL

Thats the pan that was on the boat when I got it but now I know it wont work .Motor hardware I got drives off flywheel .Somebody must have changed the pan.I did read somewere that old circle boats did drive off the balancer.

[superdave013]

Yep, I sell a puller to remove the top bearing. I'll need to make another batch of them, but if you want one I'll get right on it. I also can send you the exploded view / parts list for your box that will help you out.
Shoot me an e-mail if you want one.

Hey sww I have a pan that might work for you! a Moroso BBC marine pan. I was going to put it on my sanger flat but the boat is too flat. it did not have quite enough room for me. it has all the baffels with the trap doors superdave was talking about. It lists for 319.99 in jegs. I will sell for 100. you can email me at FireWingd@hotmail.com

i might be interested how many qts does it hold and do you have a pick up for it.

[superdave013]

That's a great deal on that pan. But make sure it's not just a marine pan, but a marine V-DRIVE pan. The baffles will be backwards from a standard marine pan.
