What gear ratio is needed

[mikemarc]

I just bought a 1987 Carver Santego 27 with twin Alpha One's powered by 205HP 4.3L V6's. Both outdrives are shot and I want to replace them. I can't make out any of the numbers on either outdrive. I have emailed Carver on numerous occassions without a response. Can anyone tell me what gear ratio I need?

The drives should be a 1.84 ratio. You can verify this by removing the top cap on one of the uppers and counting the teeth on the two gears. If you have a 17 & 19 tooth gear you have the 1.84 ratio.
