    240 OMC

    I have a 240 OMC and drive see pics got the outdrive ready to pull off but the shift cable is still attached at the top of the back of the engine. See that pic circled area. Question is how does it come off. First what gear should it be in? I lifted the pin and swung out the two arms behind...

    Fuel filter separator

    I appreciate the advice on here. Have a shot at a boat with two of these that are runners. Look pretty much identical to the 165 Merc?
