Re: 1986 bayliner vovlo penta 2.3 liter and omc cobra drive what shift cable?
Are you sure that's a Volvo Penta 2.3L engine on an OMC Cobra drive? If so, then you have something hacked together out of spare parts laying around and who knows what you need.
Now if you have an OMC FORD 2.3L engine then that would be common.
