Hey guys - scooping up some info during my motors rebuild.  This is my PTO (i think its called) and would like to know what type I have and what parts should always be replaced while its out of the boat?  The two halves (what i thought were halves) were connected by 4 bolts but when i took the bolts out the unit did not split apart where its sandwiched.  Assuming normal but would love to learn about this part of the drive.  Thanks in advance!

What you have there that you un-bolted is the drive line.  It will come apart, just give it a smack with a hammer.  The PTO adapter is bolted to the flywheel and your  drive line bolts to it (yours is still on the motor).  Service wise, all there is to do is make sure the u joints are in good condition and lubed.  The way to determine exactly what size you have is to measure them.  This will tell you if they're a 1310 or a 1350 size joint.  I'll attach a chart so you can see what I'm referring to.  Bigger is better.  A relatively stock motor, say under 500hp a 1310 will be fine.  If you start building some real power, you would probably want to go with the bigger joints.

Thank you very much for the info and the chart.  Will measure when i get home tonight.  When you lube the U joints via the zerk (when its back in the boat) - what is the best way to know when to stop?  thanks again

I would replace the joints while its apart just because... they usually are loaded new but a light amount till you feel some tension or see a bit of weep out cap. I use Lucas red n tacky.

Usually only takes a pump or 2.  You'll hear it kind of crackle and pop.  You don't need, or want to pump it until it pushes out, that just makes a mess.  If you want to inspect them for wear, it's very simple.  Hold the cap in your hand and slowly pull the joint up twisting it as you pull.  This way the needles should stay in the cup.  Inspect the joint where the needle bearings contact  the surface for any grooving.  If it's smooth, wipe a little grease on the needle bearings and carefully spin the cap back on the joint.   If you see rust or grooves, then I would replace them.

Will my 1310 setup accept a 1350 joint or do I need a different carrier for the bigger joint?
