    1989 omc cobra gear case problem

    The pinion gear is drawn up the splined tapered shaft, if it's not tight enough it could possibly cause your issue.

    1989 omc cobra gear case problem

    Besides the gears what else did you replace? Do you know what caused the failure? My thinking is could there be damage to the gearcase or a difference in another part where additional shims may be required. #51 are shims, there are different thicknesses of shims available.

    The last I checked (been quite awhile) the resin was 3x more than I paid.

    1989 omc cobra gear case problem

    Is the propeller shaft too high or the pinion shaft too low? Is the pinion gear positioned correctly on the pinion shaft? Ie: not being drawn high enough when the nut is tightened.

    I totally agree Scott, I do know with the increased costs of restoration supplies I probably couldn't afford to do it now.

    Who makes this coating? I could see some good uses for my boat.

    88 Capri Restoration (Splashed 08/2022)

    It's amazing how much the price varies. I have seen this set for 650 on Marine engine.com. I know I have an undesirable setup by today's standards, which is most likely why some parts are not reproduced like some others. (Small Gearcase with Ford engine) 😊

    I had spoken to them also, they only had used ones. I am going to put in as much new as I can which is why I have been holding out on them. I found them for $100 far less than most places. Simple pleasures for simple minds! 😁

The only real problem that I noticed was the excessive wear on the forward gear bushing, I looked into finding the bushing but the companies that...
