I have an 2.3 OMC Cobra Outdrive and I got a new lower unit to put on it. I thought I put it back together correctly, but when I took it to the lake I had a few problems.

Hey i was sent the wrong photo. That other one was a honda. Here is the Nissan. I know its not a 200 but it still looks like a decent motor. He will give be both of them for $300 just to clear space in his work shop.
