Default omc outdrive

I went to diner Sunday night, had a couple of coctails and Monday morning I own a 1988 Four Winn 241 with dual 350s and OMC outdrives. The Port 1 outdrive is bad, where do I go from here? Any help is greatly appreciated.

This Sunday take someone you do not like to dinner and give them a couple of cocktails and then they will own two OMC drives that are hard to get parts for. OMC has been out of business for 13 years.

Your next options is to find a used OMC drive on e-bay o craigslist.

There is a kit to convert the drive to alpha 1, but not sure if you can run an OMC and Merc at the same time. Gear ratio would have to be the same.
