Re: sorry new to this

They probably stole yours because they couldn't find one. Thats an OMC stringer drive. You will probably have to search on ebay for one. They do show up on occassion. You will need to know whether you need a long or short drive.

Here is a pic of where his drive used to be.

I had an old cruisers inc., and now have a 67 TBird, both of which had stringer drives. In both cases the shift wires would go through the transom near the upper left of the ball gear in your picture. From the inside of the boat, there should be a hole above and to the left of the tilt motor. I'm no expert, but I hope that is helpful.

Now can u tell me if that ball gear suppose to turn when u start the motor or is it in gear...it turns when i start the motor

Re: sorry new to this

The ball gear will turn. The shift mechanism is in the lower unit of the outdrive. So, regardless of whether or not the boat is in gear, you should always see that gear turn. Try marineengineparts.com or google "french creek marina". They tend to carry no longer available parts for omc. Maybe they could point you in the right direction for a new stringer drive.

Re: sorry new to this

From the info and looking at the boat, it looks like your gonna need a 400 series, mechanical shift, short drive.

Good luck.
