Can a cobra drive still be resealed?

[Fordiesel69]

If I decide to keep my four winns as it does have a nice transom and stringers, can I plan to have parts avail to reseal the drive should the need occur?

Would it be wise to start looking for rotten boats to get a spare drive off of?

thats up to you but all yell OMC this n that i have a 89 sunbird but, so far never no problem getting parts at my local dealer. yea they get old but since i dont get to use it maybe 6 -12 hrs a year it sits. as long as theyre making inboards theres going to be parts ! just a new name and part #'s.. OMC out now BRG then they go out be another..i dont think will ever see any real end to things that sell and folks have demands for lolo

yes, I just had mine done over the winter. Its an 87 and is behind a v6. It started leaking while sitting off the boat in my garage, wasnt sure which seal was leaking so i just shipped off to my local boat guy (one of the few remaining marine mechanics still willing to work on cobras). He did a total reseal with impeller for the tune of $500. Told me he had no trouble finding seals for it.
