V-drive and tranmission are the same thing.
Not necessarily………. in Sea Rays with earlier high hp/torque applications like Detroit Diesel engines in 50+ ft boats. We have had several 50DA's in our marina for service in Panama City Beach with Engines coupled to ZF/Twin disc transmissions and the transmission output coupled to a seperate V-drive to get the correct down angle and direction for the prop-shaft……….those things must weight a ton, but they perform well.
