    72 omc sterndive electric shift

    Re: 72 omc sterndive electric shift What kinda' controller are you using Rich? There were two or three possibilities. On mine: The shifting is simply forward to engage forward, back to engage reverse (gotta' push the little button on top). To "rev" in neutral, all you can do is pull the...

    Re: OMC 2.3 Oil Change Problem Mine's an older unit ('72), but the type of "top" he's talking about you can see in this picture: Toward the bottom right of the photo, you can see the dipstick and the oil drain connection next to each other.

    Re: 1978 140 HP OMC Engine/Sterndrive problems I can't tell where the wires are going in that photo, but I can't see the knife connectors typical of electric shift. What Howard meant by the props is that an electric shift prop would look like this: ... You might have a prop that allows...

    1978 140 HP OMC Engine/Sterndrive problems

    Re: 1978 140 HP OMC Engine/Sterndrive problems IF you're electric shift, you should be able to find the shift cables for your drive on the port side of the engine back by the intermediate housing. They'll look kinda' like this: You can see mine resting on the top of the blower hose. There...

    stringer 800 wont shift into forward

    Re: stringer 800 wont shift into forward Shoot a coupla' pictures and post 'em up. Maybe you do have an 800 after all ... I don't really see where they clipped a 350 on any of the Stringers, so there's a chance you have something of a "Franken-motor" and they replaced the original drive with...

    Just put the new head on '72 OMC 165

    Actually it was a completely cleaned head and a NEW head gasket ... Okay, I got everything put back together and she'll start and run.

    Gasket set question - OMC 165 Stringer

    I'm in the process of doing the head gasket (1st timer) and have got everything taken apart. Head is about to go to the shop to be machined (valves too) and I think THIS is the gasket set I need. Correct? Also - in that set are two gaskets that go under the rocker arm covers (if I've got it...

    72 tufp-21 225 hp

    Re: 72 tufp-21 225 hp No model number on an OMC Electric Shift. You can't use muffs on a '72 either. If your boat was equipped you should have a hose adapter on one of the trunion housings to hook a garden hose. You can see pictures in THIS THREAD. Or you can hook up a flushing kit...

    '72 OMC 165 - blown head gasket?

    Howdy all: I'm starting a new thread because the problem is a little different than the header on my OTHER one suggests: The 165 Stringer is a Chevy inline 6 (250), and I'm getting zero compression on cylinders #2 & #3. Under load on the water the boat has no power, runs way rough and makes a...
