Hello everyone. A little intro.first off i love this site very informative. Im new to the boating world. and bought my wife a boat for xmas. she has more experience with them as she grew up with house boats and watersports. but after going out on the water last weekend with her i now have a new hobby. i work on lots of things so tinkering and fixing things is just a way of life for me.
any way i bought her a 84 v hull with an OMC 3.0 and OMC sterndrive from my research its a 400 stringer. in great shape. with manual included
model # 802STHRCRA serial# J 794737 outdrive model # 988486 serial # J 384707
which leads to my first Question. looking to the OMC model number guide. for over an hour and a half. i can't find my model number. if any one can see it.let me know what page its on. or I'm thinking i have the first 8 mistaken for what is a 3.
second question i have is on the tilt clutch gear the adjustment screw inside. there is supposed to be a 1/2 - 20 nylon bolt to cover the hole. ( mine was broken) im assuming since i have remnants of one it needs to be closed off .and i can't seem to find one locally or know what the part # or what to call it to find it on line. i did find a metal allen head bolt that fits. will it be ok to use it instead ? or does it have to be nylon?
right now i am currently looking for the zerk fitting to grease the steering shaft coming out of the intermediate. but like everyone else i can't seem to find it. i have seen a couple pictures of its location but have failed to locate it.
i have found and greased the one above the cavitation plate and that one made my steering super easy.
any way im gonna stop with these questions for now. as im sure i will have more in the future. thank you for your time and apologies for being long winded
