Re: What do I have

Wow, what a find. The only boats I have ever seen that have the OMC sterndrive with a V4 powerhead were the Johnson and Evinrude boats. You may want to check at fiberglassics.com and see if you can track down what you have. The motor Model indicates it is a 1966. You can find info here on the model number along with a manual if Iboats doesn't have one: http://www.marineengine.com/manuals/omc_sterndrive/order_pre-1980.html You may also want to see if there is any info here: http://www.ultimate.com/omc-boats/ . It is essentially an outboard powerhead mated to an OMC stern drive. Very cool.<br /><br />My Sierra Parts guide does not list a complete seal kit for anything older than 1968. It does list a number of individial seals for a 1966 though.<br /><br />18-2012 Driveshaft Bearing Retainer seal<br />18-7120 Prop Brng Hsng screw seal<br />18-7152 Prop Brng Hsng seal<br />18-7115 Driveshaft bearing retainer seal<br />18-7174 Drives=haft seal<br /><br />I won't guarantee that these are right for your app, that's just what I see in my sierra book. If you have a Napa Auto Parts nearby, they have a marine catalog that is a rebranded Sierra book and they can order parts. I would think a Johnson/Erude dealer could order them as well I got my own copy by e-mailing Sierra (google for sierra marine parts).<br /><br />Hope this helps :cool:

Re: What do I have

The "Cathedral" name was something of a moniker for designs by Richard Cole, who designed many of the OMC boats and ThunderBird boats. Looks like there is also a correlation to Wellcraft. Richard Cole
