Omc cobra

I discovered that the gears in I believe the upper unit are stripped .(whatever gears are right under the top cap) what are they called and how can I replace them?

Your easiest route is the replacement route. SEI offers a replacement lower unit with a full warrenty.

Yikes! That's a messy lookin' pinion gear. I don't know Cobras, but transmission work like that has always been a little tricky in my book. I'd look and see if your parts are available, then check the cost against finding another upper or replacement drive.

This is what happens when you fill a Cobra like a Mercruiser from the bottom instead of the middle fill hole.

And, in the event that you're "looking" at this boat and haven't bought it yet......DON'T!
