i have a casale v-drive 10 degree in a flat bottom. my question is
how much play /slop should it have or not have?
example: while in gear i can rotate prop 45 degrees back and forth. it seem's like alot to me? otherwise it works great but will clatter at part throttle.what do you guys think?

Do you have a Whirlaway in your V-drive?
no, i do not have a whirlaway.at this point im thinking after 25+ years of use that the gears are worn out.(alot)
I'd think you would have to have missing teeth on gears to have that much play.
It sounds as if its time to pop that puppy open and take a good hard look at things.

does'nt seem to be missing a tooth (maybe all)as their is no skip,catch or anything else abnormal other than to much play.
the v-drive otherwise runs great.however i think you guys are right!!! time to look inside!! THANKS!!
new question, can gears be replaced in boat without speacial
tools or ?
Superdave013 sells a bearing puller that makes it real slick to get the Top bearing out....
It's nice to have a bearing puller for the top bearing, but sometimes you can pry the bearing out with 2 screwdrivers. Superdave makes and sells the little bearing pullers here on the boards.
Call Menkens vdrive, 530-885-0531. Tom did a great job on my vdrive. He should be glad to talk to you.
