I have a 1991 sunbird stinger with a ford 2.3 L motor and omc cobra drive. I can not find another boat like this or any information on this boat. If any of ya'll can help please let me know. I am having electrical problems (battery not charging and keeps blowing fuses) I put a alternator on it but is not helping> I do know that there is a little white breaker behind the motor that also keeps triping. a wiring diagram or anything that will help please

I can't help with your specific issue, but maybe I can help you get better help....if that makes sense.

When dealing with electrical issues like yours the manufacturer of the boat is irrelevant (it's irrelevant in most cases, actually). Only the engine/drive manufacturer needs to be researched.

You should probably pick up a manual for your drive. Available on eBay!

If the battery won't take a charge, it's probably shot. Is the alt. belt tight?

Which fuses keep blowing? I really don't remember seeing any white circuit breakers on any OMC's, do you have a picture of this breaker?
Here is a wiring that may help.

Inst. Panel Wiring

Engine Wiring

Re: sunbird omc

best thing to do with your pictures is upload it to photobucket.com and post it here. To use this sites system makes the pictures so small that they are normally not usable.
