Hi folks, new user here. I've got an '87 4.3L with and OMC Cobra outdrive. I've done enough research to come to grips with the multitude of shift issues on this outdrive. Mr. Hastings' experiences not withstanding, has anybody had any success changing one of these things out to something else? Maybe an aftermarket shifter (with some provision for the ESA), re-fit to Mercruiser, update to Volvo....anything? I'm a pretty accomplished mechanic on everthing from my cars to boats to bikes. I'm a veteran of a recent engine change-out on this boat as well as several cars/trucks, even a motorcycle, so I can take the heat - just trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel if I can.
