    OMC Cobra/Engine Help Needed.

    I have a 1989 Chris Craft Cavalier bow rider with a Cobra out drive. The boat did not have the engine in it. Is there any way to find out what engine was coupled with a particular drive? I do have a 3.0 that appears will bolt in but from what I can tell the gearing is different if the drive...

    Mercruiser 3.0/OMC Cobra combo

    I recently acquired a 1989 Chris Craft Cavalier 17 that has a OMC Cobra outdrive installed. The original motor is AWOL but the previous owner had a Mercruiser 3.0 sitting in the boat. Has anybody hooked this motor to an OMC outdrive? I assume that the OMC 3.0 was the same engine but what...

    Replacement Seats

    Redoing Com-Pac 16 bunks

    Has anybody ever had to redo the inside of a Com-Pac 16 or a boat of similar layout? If so, would it be an easier job if the desk was detached from the hull? Anybody ever done such an operation before? Links, photos and insight are appreciated. :D

    Older Mercruiser Question

    I have a 1973 Aristrocraft Nineteen with a Mercruiser 140. The label says leaded fuel only and I was curious as to what others on here thought about is using a lead substitute is really needed. Right now I have been using one but it does get old.

    73 Mercruiser 140 dies going in forward

    I just replaced the water pump in my 140 Mercruiser with I believe to be an "R" out drive. Ever since putting the foot back on the engine dies when I put it in forward. With the engine off I notice forward will finally engage at almost WOT. Any ideas on if maybe something I overlooked when I...

    New Nineteen Owner

    I just recently purchased a 73 Artistocraft Nineteen with a 140. The boat was devoid of any seats and needs some work. The motor runs good and the hull isn't in bad shape. Right now I'm trying to figure out why forward won't engage until the throttle is opened all the way up.
