The SAOV consists of a Paragon transmission with attached Walters V drive. The V drive can be rebuilt by Walters. Be sure to ask them if the case is rotted from years of salt water use. If so, a new case or new V drive may be needed. The Paragon transmission can also be rebuilt, assuming parts are still available. Please contact me off list for details.
