    1976 OMC stringer electric control box removal

    My controls are different. 1 for gas and 1 for fwd/n/Rev. Has the same switch though. I was able to get apart. Had to split the glued halves.... gently. Cleaned contacts and glued back together and then put some heat shrink around it. Now that I know the maker I might just buy one for a spare....

    How do I fill the intermediate housing?

    You would need a real small tube to fit down that small fill hole and would never know how much you really got out

    Converting old log style to new center style manifolds

    Mine are Barr Marine. I would call them and see if they have complete kits. The water passages are Larger than the stock ones so they don't plug as fast

    How do I fill the intermediate housing?

    That's more like a early 70's. As for oil.. I sucked it out with a big syringe and then blew the rest out with compressed air and a bunch of rags to manage spray. Then I flushed it with brakeclean, then air again to dry. I wanted to get it as clean as possible because it had a bit of water in...

    1974 reinell cuddy restore

    New starter solenoid and new coil/ballast resistor. Took it out Sunday and even though I didn't run it hard for any real time it didn't fail. Trip was cut short due to thunderstorms and can't go out this weekend because they expect the possibility of 4+" of rain

    '85 Sierra 16.5' Fiberglass - Floor / Transom / New Layout

    My build took 5.5 years..... And counting but it has been splashed and i have been trying to get it to run reliably. I have taken it out about 6 times. Still have some stuff in the interior to finish. It's all about progress and don't get discouraged because once done the satisfaction is worth it

    1974 reinell cuddy restore

    Got out to do some troubleshooting today and stumbled across a possible reason for the running issue. Grabbed all my tools, threw into the boat and flipped battery disconnect. Started hooking things up and touched ballast resistor and it was warm. Touched coil and it was hot. Ignition was off...

    Omc stringer info

    Get the oem manual. And a 2foot long HUGE snap ring plier set. You will need both to work on these things, also shimming guages if you can find them. If I remember right I thought the springs were in an assembly.
