Is it woth worrying about parts becoming more scarce on an OMC Cobra drive, I have a 1986 3.0 OMC Cobra. It runs real well.<br /><br />Is it possible to convert it eventually over if need be, to another kind of drive..or will I need to change the engine at that time as well?

I've had my cobra for 16 yrs now. When I go into buy a bearing or a seal or a gear etc. and they can't get it, then I'll start to worry. Until then I'll just keep running her.

DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM FINDING PARTS? I HAVE AN OMC DEALER NEAR MY HOUSE, OTHERWISE THERE IS ALWAYS THE BOAT DEALER "LARSON" OR WHATEVER. :)

No problems at all getting parts for mine.<br /><br />Either from a local Johnson dealer or from various internet outfits.<br /><br />But, if that time ever comes, and you still want the boat, the Volvo conversion is the simplest, but I've heard it's not cheap.
