All GLM replacement lower gear housings for the V6 and V8 OMC Stringer 800 sterndrives have the new heavy duty #22666
gear sets. This new gear set has fewer, larger, stronger teeth. The pinion gear has 12 teeth and the forward and reverse gears
have 22 teeth. The original OEM gear set has 14 teeth on the pinion and 26 teeth on the forward and reverse gears. During
the gear machining process an additional pass is made over each tooth for a finer surface. This makes the gear operation especially
quiet. These durable gears are capable of operating with up to 300hp. All GLM lower gear housings have the large 1-1/4 inch
diameter prop shafts with a reverse thrust washer installed between the shaft and reverse gear**.
*Many 1978 - 1981 OMC sterndrives have had the hydraulic shift lower gear housing replaced with the 1982 - 1985 mechanical
shift lower gear housing. Sterndrives with the original hydraulic shift lower gear housing do not have an ESA (electronic
shift assist) box or overstroke switches on the shift converter. 1978 - 1981 sterndrives that have been converted to the mechanical
shift lower gear housing do/must have the ESA and overstroke switches installed.
