Hi guys i have 1991 chris craft 228 concept, my outdrive has broken bearing by the water pump, anyone knows OMC mechanics that rebuild outdrives?
 
Just an FYI for you.....

The OMC Cobra is a candidate for the Volvo Penta SX or DP-S conversion. It does require a kit, and may be a bit expensive depending on your buying skills.

Here are the advantages:

a drive that is still in production
typically no issues finding qualified technicians
Cone Clutch gear engagement in lieu of Dog Clutch engagement
the ESA is completely eliminated (no more ESA hassles)
two shift cables now become only one
the SX lower unit can later be converted to the DP-S
a good used SX or DP-S will last for years
nice smooth cone clutch gear engagement and disengagement


The OMC Cobra can also be converted to a Merc A drive or the SEI A drive, via a kit.
The ESA must be retained for this conversion.
However, this conversion takes us from one dog clutch drive to another dog clutch drive!
