Hello,
so I recently purchased a Four winns 245 vista with OMC King Cobra Drive and 351 OMC. I've had 3 boats now all mercs went to this because it was newer and I couldnt beat the price. The boat runs flawless motor is super quiet has 486 hrs on it, drive shifts smoothly and engages like a dream. The boat was originally in 1993 purchased at the marina I just bought it from and docked there its whole life so service gave me all the paper work and stuff done to it. It was checked and inspected every other year and always serviced with what needed to be done to it.
My question is it sounded like a great deal till i bought it and read on the net about this omc king cobra ordeal it is the cone clutch system. Did I just totally screw my self. lol people say theres no parts for these but I find websites everywhere that sells parts great site is (boats dot net) they have all sorts of parts for OMC.
last question is I read that best thing to do for these set-ups is to get them adjusted correctly they say that this system is very durable but needs to be constantly adjusted right. does anyone have a link on how to keep this drive adjusted???
I uploaded a pic of the motor is this the motor everyone says is bad its a 351 and the Drive
Thanks
