I own a 1978 Starcraft boat w
I own a 1978 Starcraft boat with a 140 hp engine with an OMC stern drive attached. I don't trust this old stern drive with the electric shift and would like to know if I can get a newer style stern drive and mount it. I know they used that same chevy motor for quite a while after that. I know I'd probably have a problem with the transom hole fitting but there is no "push" on the transom like an outboard and I could probably make something to adapt it. Can anyone help me with this pipe dream?!
