Have a 1986 19' SeaRay Seville Open that I recently bought. Long story short, found block is cracked. The below is the info I have on power train.

Engine has part of a OMC tag near the water manifold on front top of engine, but Mod & Ser. # missing.
Block casting number is 1408853--crossed that over to a 1986-1988 4.3, W 1 piece rear main seal and is a non-roller cam.

OMC Tag on bracket that holds the steering arm reads: "OMC Drive System Mod. 98300 Ser. T0014689

OMC tag on lower units reads :Mod 983842 Ser. T0440000.

Can anyone tell me what stern drive I have? Cobra or what. I intent to replace the engine and need to order a OEM service manual. Also, sure I'll need parts for the drive. I have a Seloc Repair Manual that covers OMC Stern Drives 1964-1986 --however I don't care for it.

Hope to keep photos of my efforts and post in restoration section as I take on this project making this boat the beauty I'm sure she once was.
Tks for any help.
