    1994 OMC Sunbird Cuddy 190

    I can backup Chris' statement. The previous owner of my boat did a re-deck and when I removed it the rest of the structure was toast! If you read through many of the rebuilds on here you'll see "the floor is the last to rot" mentioned somewhere.

    I must tell this story.... My next door neighbor whom I've only talked to briefly a handful of times brought my Walmart order over because they delivered to the wrong address 🤔 We got to talking and come to find out he has many OMC setups that he currently owns. My youngest daughter lives 20...

    cobra 3.0 hesitates

    In the past I've had some old trucks with the same symptoms and it turned out to be a worn and or dried out accelerator pump, which was an easy fix. The worst case was that it had ran like that so long it wore the bore out for the plunger which made it junk. The other suggestions that had been...

    Scott are you saying that it's best to leave it as it is?

    Help Please!

    Thanks Scott, I wasn't sure if there were part numbers or just OD/ID. I appreciate your directions on this.

    Help Please!

    The reason for me wanting to replace them is I have alot of vertical play and was concerned about the meshing to the auxiliary shaft in the engine. I only believe it's excessive from articles I have read but there were still many different opinions.

    Help Please!

    I want to replace the bushings in the Mallory distributor on my 2.3. I found a place that can do the work, but they don't have a source to find the parts. I have spent countless hours searching but can't find anything specific to this distributor, I've never had to do this before, so I am not...

    Transom repair ?

    Not at all, It was meant as a general statement. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

    Transom repair ?

    Any cracks in the transom area whether on the inside or outside are stress cracks indicating weakness. Like @Grub54891 stated a transom replacement may be necessary and most likely stringers etc. Rot is like rust it continues eating away until it is completely removed. There is no bandaid for...

    1980 3.0L strange overheat issue

    Oh you have a stringer, the image was from my manual which was for a cobra. I've never had a stringer but it may be the same or similar. It should be accessible somewhat easily either way, it should be higher in the exhaust system above the water line. I'm not sure if I have anything about...

    1980 3.0L strange overheat issue

    The flapper is in the upper section of the exhaust pipe, you would need to remove the upper elbow and rubber coupling. It's in a very similar location as my Ford 2.3. All that was left on mine was the pin, the flapper had long since melted, I did find small pieces in the outdrive when I had...
