Specifications and Materials
This housing set is made from durable billet aluminium alloy and finished with a corrosion-resistant anodised coating. It supports drilling with integrated oil galleries to improve lubrication under load. Additionally, the set matches all bolt hole patterns of the original cast housing for straightforward installation.
Compatibility and Fitment
Designed exclusively for Argo V-Drive gearboxes, this billet housing fits directly in place of the older cast version. To maintain proper alignment, verify that your gear set conforms to the enlarged internal clearance and that your existing clutches and shafts align correctly.
Compliance and Safety
This housing set ensures accurate gear engagement and effective sealing, which reduces wear and improves oil containment. Therefore, after installation, rotate the gearbox manually and perform a short run to confirm there are no leaks. Moreover, check that the O-ring is seated correctly to prevent seepage under pressure.
Marine Applications
Ideal for performance and racing inboards, this billet housing delivers improved gear clearance and lubrication. Moreover, the anodised finish helps resist corrosion in harsh saltwater conditions, making it suitable for long-term use and low-maintenance operation.
