Re: Help with identifying an OMC outdrive
The last few years of stringers were painted silver, that one appears to be white (under the black), so I expect it's pre '82. Definitely pre '84.
If the engine was 4 cyl, it's a 400 series, a V6 or V8 would be 800 stringer.
I had an '84 for 20 years, changed the upper seals & bearings 2 times, they were all off the shelf bearing supply house parts.
The 1st time a marine repair shop ordered the parts from OMC, for about $350. I kept the old parts, took them to Canadian Bearings here in Ontario, sourced the full set for $85 the 2nd time.
I expect the lower unit will probably also use standard seals, but that's a guess. I gave my OMC manual away when I sold the outdrive to switch to Merc.
Here's a pic of my '84 lower, note the rectangular hole just behind the 6 vent holes, that's where a second anode fits on later years. The primary one would be horseshoe shaped and bolted on at the top of the picture
The coiled black line is the shift cable.
The problem is, the guy wants this boat sold as is and just wants to reseal the lower unit (water in oil). He doesn't want to spend more money than necessary. He asked me to order the parts needed - and I don't know what to order :S
