Anyone remember the OMC Seadrive?

[creekster]

I'm still trying to get info on the horsepower ratings of the old (1988) Seadrives. Can anyone help? Thanks.

The 1.6L V4s were at 110 hp per the OMC shop manual. I got a pair of them.

Alan - You seperated the 1.6L into two groups. I'm curious as to why. Also do you know if the Sea Drive assembly was the same for all years and engines?

For what it is worth I have had mine for 13 years and have had zero problems with the drives.

Alan R -- Do you know the horsepower ratings on the V-6 model? I'm thinking of repowering a boat which originally had a Seadrive on it and trying to determine adequate h.p. on new outboard.
