What kind of outdrive?

[1974merc]

I'm not familiar with this outdrive. Can someone tell me what it is and if it is a good I/O setup? Thanks!!

OMC Cobra

Putting it through its paces on the water the only real way to tell if it is good or bad.

Overall, as a brand choice....OMC is not a good one, as the company has been out of business for over a decade.

And that's a ford 351. OMC out of business and Ford is no longer in the marine business. That's 2 strikes there.

Personally, I don't trust Craigs list for anything that you need with quality. Remember, the price is one thing but the cost is another.
