"I read the electronic ugnition upgrades, great info and many thanks to those that shared the info.
Here is info on my boat. 86 Rinker 18' 4.3L V-6 with OMC sterndrive.
I have a question. I want to increase the horsepower in my V-6 to around 250HP using a smooth idle mild cam and larger carb, and possibly rework the heads.
My question is will the drive unit handle the extra horsepower? According to the OMC manual I have it states the drive unit on my boat (matching part number) was used for V-6 and V-8 applications. Iknow the V-8's probably produced around 190HP, but that doesn't come close to 250HP, but I'm still wondering if this can be done without destroying the drive unit. Anyone have experience with performance upgrades?"
