I also have a '75 stringer w/ a 351. I have to wonder, "it was in good working condition when he took it apart." Why then did he take it apart as much as he did?

Re: More EBAY OMC Deals

Not sure if was working all that well. There is another picture in his auction that shows the Housing that the Impeller Housing mounts to. It is pretty corroded. The problem is that housing also has the lower and upper Drive Shaft in it and the only thing protecting the splines is grease. If water got into that housing, which looks like it might have, the splines would be fused. So if he tried to change the Impeller he would not have been able to and would have had to disasemble almost the entire Upper Case to get to the shafts. By the way, I am familiar with this problem because I am experiencing the same this right now. I have mentioned this in a previous thread. If he gets what he wants for it then more power to him. I just doubt that it was working just fine.

I just went through the same thing. The pump shaft stripped then sheared off into the upper shaft. I replaced both shafts, all seals, bearings, pump, pump housing, ball gears. All for around 400 bones. Much cheaper to go through Timken directly for the bearings! Another 30.00 worth of oil and I'll be getting it wet next week!
