Just one more than the SSM-but--you had to remember--- the reduction gear changed the direction of rotation:leaving:

I was wondering ----when would someone ask???

This the only pic I have--I got it from Sam--Didn't he and Dave start a thread on here years ago?

All these pics are of the early 'Studs Down' unit--no 'steady rest' bearing--huge 'O' ring between the upper and lower--- had to pull the powerhead to change the 'LORD' rubber bushed driveshaft---real BEAR to work on--and to get any service life from--:nonod:

Real ugly, Sam!

So shift in the mid ( like a manual car box reverse)
Hence the Charlie Strang omc twin pinion with shift dog on the propshaft was genius done way back then resurectted in the F1 V8 offshore

Correct

the BP explanation is in the Frankenstien SSM thread

I have several of these gearcases both BP and Super BP plus a couple boxes of parts. I had some broken Pinion shafts( I was told a long time ago that was one of their weak points but Gene says not and he would probably know as I have never run one.) and there is also a broken shift fork in one box. I know I asked Steckbauer years ago and he said he wouldn't touch one again. I know that I have looked at all the parts and cases and I sure do not have the ability to put one back together(and it work)!

I bought this BP about 10 years ago out of California. It sat under a Awning in the high desert. It had the fill plug out of it. It was completely full of sand and was basically junk. I guess all the sand blowing around all those years filled her up.
