Hello hope I can get some help please?
every time I dig into something on this boat I open up a can of stinking skunk worms!!!
so this time I will ask a few question
1979 Orion 19 foot open bow with a OMC 140hp inboard / outboard 400 with tru course steering
1 my steering wheel has a wood covering that is warped and would like to replace it with a grant 313 or something
like it ?? has anyone done this? is it a simple bolt on ? or is it some dam shaft / spline got to have the right part that is no longer available dam thing???
2 my omc is 990245S1 and it would not go into reverse now more. So I went to a shop for help and was told to fine a full mechanical shift 400 as it would be better then the hydro mechanical one I have
So $1000.00 later a model 983486 was told this is a 400 and it came with shift cable and control box with broken mounts!
Yep I started digging into it when I drained the oil's to put new oil in and found water in the case, so ok at this point put in a new water pump new ball gear and seals and O-rings do the job right and maybe not have any problems! ???
Well at the water pump
Ok I am stumped here the unit I got model 983486 and 86 being the model year right????
this unit I have looks just like my 79 400 parts and all inside and it looks like this
https://www.marineengine.com/parts/...=OMC+stern+drive§ion=Upper+Gearcase+Group
it is not this unit !!!!!
https://www.marineengine.com/parts/...er=OMC+stern+drive§ion=Upper+Gear+Housing
So at the water pump
I have done this job twice on my omc 400
I get the pump out and #35 — 909753 — DRIVESHAFT is like stuck / welded / frozen to #47 — 909121 — DRIVESHAFT, UPPER I have beat this with a hammer I have heated it up and tried to us a press nothing !!!! the two WILL NOT separate!!!!
so my question here will be can I use my water pump unit from my 1979 unit and install it in this unit it all looks to same
but the new unit has a aftermarket heavy duty water pump kit and I think someone used Loctite or something like it on this shaft
#51 — 910240 — BEARING HOUSING
the 1979 shows the same #51 — 910240 — BEARING HOUSING
the gears are the same and all 0982476 - L/P 1495.00 1985 and 0982476 - L/P 1495.00 1979 both years are the same units
Over all this new used unit I have from marineengines.com
from there pictures of the unit there the unit I got fits in the 1984 model year but still the same part numbers over all
