    Just put the new head on '72 OMC 165

    Actually it was a completely cleaned head and a NEW head gasket ... Okay, I got everything put back together and she'll start and run. According to the manual while everything gets established the engine may run rough (and it is), but there's also a knock or tick that I can't quite figure out...

    Gasket set question - OMC 165 Stringer

    I'm in the process of doing the head gasket (1st timer) and have got everything taken apart. Head is about to go to the shop to be machined (valves too) and I think THIS is the gasket set I need. Correct? Also - in that set are two gaskets that go under the rocker arm covers (if I've got it...

    72 tufp-21 225 hp

    Re: 72 tufp-21 225 hp No model number on an OMC Electric Shift. You can't use muffs on a '72 either. If your boat was equipped you should have a hose adapter on one of the trunion housings to hook a garden hose. You can see pictures in THIS THREAD. Or you can hook up a flushing kit...

    '72 OMC 165 - blown head gasket?

    Howdy all: I'm starting a new thread because the problem is a little different than the header on my OTHER one suggests: The 165 Stringer is a Chevy inline 6 (250), and I'm getting zero compression on cylinders #2 & #3. Under load on the water the boat has no power, runs way rough and makes a...

    Too much freeboard :) ?

    Re: Too much freeboard :) - USS Yorktown Re: Too much freeboard :) - USS Yorktown Dual utilization of space was pretty fascinating. Some of the working "offices" were really sadistic in size, while others were really kinda' reasonable. Felt bad for folks like the butchers and bakers ...

    Too much freeboard :) ?

    Whaddya' think ... should she be sitting a little lower in the water? :D It's a cool 100' from the flight deck to the water surface. My son and I (along with members of our CAP squadron) got to spend the weekend on the USS Yorktown at Patriot's Point. I have a new appreciation for you NAVY...

    OMC outdrive (NOT Cobra) questions, satring with Model Number

    Re: OMC outdrive (NOT Cobra) questions, satring with Model Number I'm having trouble figuring out what you've got there ... numbers aren't matching up to anything I can find. In fact when I started with the first number, a COBRA came up and I didn't think they made one in '77. Pictures will...

    Towing another boat?

    Re: Towing another boat? ^^^^ Those are the stern eyes that you're pointing to in the photo. A cleat is one of these guys: I would have rigged a line through the stern eyes myself. I like the "Y" setup from those eyes. I carry a 100' line with me always and I can tie it up in all sorts of...

    Anyone own(ed) a Dodge Magnum?

    Re: Anyone own(ed) a Dodge Magnum? So to resurrect an old thread, and fill in the "rrrrrrest of the story" ... I had been looking' at the Magnums and biding my time (wasn't in a hurry to buy) and a deal came along that I really couldn't pass up. I wound up with a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 with the...

    Plugs and wires 1972 Stringer NLA?

    Last weekend on the lake lost a buncha' power on the way back in and got a constant "popping" noise (not like a backfire, quieter than that). No smoke, big booms or anything of that nature and she'll idle just fine (albeit with the popping noise). 1972 OMC inline 6 (Chevy 250 / JUFM-10S) I...

    New to tubing....how to keep "rider down" safe when floating in water.

    Re: New to tubing....how to keep "rider down" safe when floating in water. We've always required out tuber/skier to hold the "I'm okay" signal until the boat is back close by (upper right in this image): Our vests are all bright yellow or orange, and the raised arms breaks the water surface...
