Walters V-Drive

Billy,
I believe that the RV20 has the strainer.  My RV10 had no strainer/filter.

Here is a link to a PDF of the Walter V Drives on the Pearson 323 website.

For what it is worth the Walter V-Drive material posted on the P323 & P424 sites do NOT match the drive aboard Sea Dragon, our 1981 P367.. The body is different and the cooling tube is on the top of my V-drive vs. on the bottom as shown in the material on these sites.  The Pearson 424 (Regina Ocean), the 365's big sister, typically came with a version of the RV-20 vs the RV-10 special typically installed in our boats.


The Walter service team informed me that they built a complete unit specifically for Pearson Yacht which is what I have aboard Sea Dragon. If in doubt, you can call Walter with your V-Drive's serial number and they will tell the history of the unit, model number, and provide you with documentation for that model.  You may want to verify which unit you have before going too far.

Below are links to two (2) different versions of the RV-10.

It came with the "driveshaft" and Walter still stocks parts for both the V-Drive and shaft.... This I know as I have just replaced the seals in the V-drive and the U-Joint on the shaft. (Also, I was shamed into painting the shaft and V-drive by Dale's pictures. )

Good luck,

Garner....

I am still giggling over you admission regarding paint.  Perhaps I should post more pictures of the fixed ports!

Garner is correct, mine is also different than the 323 site link.  It has I am sure it has to do with the remote mount.
