The papers that came with my boat say my outdrive is a 340? <br />All the listings ask 400 or 800 !?!?<br /><br />My boat an 87 Bayliner 2150 with a 3.0L OMC with a manual shift - not electronic.<br /><br />What should I look for ?
The color is dark grey and there is a Cobra badge on the side of the outdrive.<br />Model ID. tag on drive says 985268<br />Omc original owners card has the numbers 302AMFTC. <br />I cannot find 302AMFTC anywhere on the drive.<br />Does this indicate a replacement???<br />There is no power steering.<br />The original owner's book on the outdrive says OMC COBRA and KING COBRA (340).<br />Does this mean that when I look for parts/props/accesories, that I can use items from the 400 or 800 series drives or not?<br />Thanks for your help.<br />Mike.
Mike...you have answered your own question, you have a Cobra drive which came out in 86-87 and is different from a 400 or 800 series. As Clanton said the engine model # 302AMFTC. should be on the valve cover
I have parts book, if you are having problems getting parts. 2 things INPORTANT to check, oil in engine and oil in outdrive. The outdrive has a dipstick in top of gearcase, look for large screw with single slot in top of case for screwdriver, if oil level is low it melts a very expensive set of gears.
Clanton and Boatin Bob, thanks for the info. I was unable to check the valve cover because the boat is all shrink wrapped for another wonderful Niagara winter.<br />Parts that I do need, I could only find listings under 400-800. <br />1. I need a magnesium (trim anode mount just above and rear of prop???) sacrificial thing for boating in fresh water to stop the corosion on the GIMBLE ? housing. Original is painted gray like the out drive.<br />2. Spare props for my drive<br />Any hints for locating these items?<br />Thanks again.<br />Mike.
Dear oar master - its the round trim tab that mounts behind and above the prop. After watching a show on tv (you know which one), the host of the show said it should be magnesium for fresh water. That was on a merc. drive and I cannot find one for my omc. I think the drive book says it is a zinc but mine is painted and I think that is what's causing the corrosion on the gimble housing. WHere can I find this accessory?
