OMC Outboard Identification

[Big Fish Billy]

Hello,

I've been looking at a 20'CC with a 90HP OMC Outboard. The Model number is 983610, Serial J330153....Can anyone tell me what it is, year, parts availability, etc....anything good or bad? The fellow says it starts fine when cold, but is hard starting when warmed up?

Thank you,

Bill

Please review those numbers to get identification .----Posting a picture also helps.

The numbers don't make sense. They look like sterndrive numbers.

Re: OMC Outboard Identification

Not sure what a sea drive is, the numbers were on the side of a mount with the trim unit inside, in other words the outboard is mounted to a mount, not directly to the transom....I looked around on Crowley and parts look like V90SLETE but the carbs look different....everything is such a mess I likely won't pursue it. It never ceases to amaze me that people don't take care of their stuff. Looks like the head gaskets are leaking salt water, a mess.

The motor is 29 years old and Think its in good shape for the age. The issue was too much oil and it would foul the plugs.
