I've got a 98 XR2 Offshore leg and am putting a 2 hole CLE box on it but two of the gearbox studs used to bolt the gearbox to the leg are too short, They're the two studs that are either side and just behind the gearshift shaft, no thread shows through at all, they are probably an inch short. Is it normal to change them? They are the same length as on my standard box.
The other problem is the little sacrificial skeg that sits above the prop, normally this bolts through from the top, but its not possible with the offshore leg. What goes in it place?l
I'd really appreciate any advice.
