Hi everyone,

Would a Vmax gearcase fit on my 2.6l 200hp carb Yamaha ?
I believe the gear-ratio is different, Vmax 1.75:1 ; 200hp 2.6 1.86:1
What about the bolt connections and shaftlengths ?

- I'm trying to find out if this would be a possible (yet costly) alternative for a low-water pickup.
- Installing a nosecone sometimes leads to a story of faulty welding or neverending replastering.
- OK, transom pickups also exist... (but I have no info on those, what could be a good one ?) and hey I'm exploring options here and I'm not the only one who ever thought of this . Following thread comes close ->
