Re: johson question

The OMC/Bombardier part number of those "O" Rings is 304598 and they are still available thru your local dealership.<br /><br />I would assume that your dealer's books do not go back that far which would prevent him from knowing that part number. Get him to order a couple for you..... a couple dollars each.
