Dripless is the Lasdrop "plastic ring" type, it has a tube supplying water from the engine exhaust, though the manual says that this additional supply is presumably only important for high speed craft (which I sure ain't ).

Transmission is some type of Kanzaki, whatever is fitted on Yanmar 4JH3E. It has its own ATF fluid. Still, I kinda feel safer when nothing is turning on the engine that is shut off.

This does underscore the utility of auto/max/folding/prop though - 50lbs of pull is nothing to sneeze at.
