Identify this Vdrive, it leaks

Hi

Looking at a 1977 Aleutian 51, Taiwan built with a Ford Lehman and a V-drive.

Does anyone know the make of the V-drive.


Also it has a little oil on the bottom plate. A leak?


Plus the Lehman has a leak around the flywheel.

Looks like a Walter RV-26. There should be a name plate on the fwd port side.

Looks like a Walter to me as well, but could not guess the model. Walter is still in business and will repair and rebuild old drives but they're really, really picky about knowing the serial number on the drive to talk to you. Should be on a small brass plate with the model number.
