    omc stringer tilt doesn't work

    I am ready to fire my new(rebuilt)engine but the tilt will not lower. It was working well when I took the engine out. The Clymer manuel I have is not much help. It clicks when you hit the switch. I have checked the connections and they are all tight. The 50 amp fuses are good. Does this tilt...

    Ron Thanks for the info, I will get the number and call them. Will a stock HEI GM distrubtor work in trhis case? I have acess to one. I do not know what the difference B/T the marine and auto, one mechanic says that since it is electronic the difference is nil. Does antone know?

    desperate for exhaust manifolds

    I am looking for 3.8 stringer drive omc V6 exhaust manifolds. I have tried Basic power and E-Bay with no luck. Is anyone aware of another used parts place I could try or a after market system for this? Can you use Mercruiser center outlets and plumb them to the OMC exhaust outlets? I am almost...

    exhaust manifolds

    Its me again. Thanks for the suggestion of Ebasic.com. I called them and they said that this was a dealer item. The dealers say they are backordered and have been for ages. In the meantime "Endless Summer" sits idle and my personality suffers major setbacks. Any suggestions on used sources? How...
