Help !!!! Need parts

[Boating Bobby]

I am in need of a coolant hose … Part number 0912507… For anime OMC sterndrive… And I could use 0912518 also

use google or your local OMC dealer.

I tried that no companies seem to have them. I was hoping someone could tell me of some obscure parts companies that do not come up on the first page of Google. I have called at least six places that sell new and used parts… No one has them

Ayuh,.... What do they fit,..??

 

[Scott Danforth]

they are no longer available 2.3 liter OMG parts

so since you have an obsolete motor from an obsolete company, you have to get creative for the obsolete NLA parts

get the diameter of the hose, go to an auto parts store and find a hose you can cut apart.


one is an elbow and one is a jump-size straight

if you dont like talking to the counter people and getting to know your local folk at your FLAPS

then look here https://www.gates.com/us/en/resourc...logs/molded-coolant-hose-identification-guide

identify something you can order on-line.

Why do these places list parts they don't have? Grrrr!

finding parts for an obsolete OMG Dorf 2.3 marine motor will be tough.

not enough of them in the market for the aftermarket to invest in

Sea Way Marine is a dealer in Washington State that has a stockpile of obsolete OMC parts. Might want to call them...

Ok for the 0912507, I'd check to see what hose Ford used on this engine, because all it has to do is fit the large fitting on the water pump and curve up at the right angle...the 0912518, is just a short straight hose that has to fit those 2 large fittings...just measure up and have get something close in length at an auto parts store. Ford made many variations of the 2.3 liter OHC engine so I bet among those, you might find the right shape hose. Worse comes to worse you use a PVC elbow the right diameter and 2 straight hose sections.

Good luck finding a Pinto hose for the formed hose. That hose replaces a Pinto radiator.

A flexible hose, one with ribs, may your best choice.
