    Cut holes in doghouse?

    Thanks Matt, I do have a very small drip in there that must be coming from the manifold but it wasn’t enough that I was going to do it this year.

    Cut holes in doghouse?

    Thanks for the replies, I reapolstered the seats and doghouse all new foam and vinyl it’s pretty tight back there, checked for rub and pinch marks there’s lots of room in there. I have not tried running it with the blower on so I’ll give that a go. Thanks again.

    Cut holes in doghouse?

    I have a 1979 120hp OMC that runs just fine with the doghouse raised but the idle roughens up when I put the doghouse back down. Is it so airtight that it is starving the carb of air? Could really use some help before I use my new 3 1/2 “ hole saw to put a couple vents in the front of it. Thanks...

    1979 OMC Gear Lube

    I’ll see how it goes, the most I have into it so far is the price of the manual. Can always sell the trailer to get my money back.

    1979 OMC Gear Lube

    Oh ya I’m aware, I feel like I stole someone’s kid when I ask an OMC question and the next thing you hear is junk it. I got the whole kit and kaboodle for $500 because the guy couldn’t store it anymore. There’s lots to do but me and my son are determined to fish out of her this summer. The guy...

    1979 OMC Gear Lube

    Ok it’s going to be a bit before I get to the vertical drive shaft but now that you explained that I have written that down on what started as a memo and looking like an encyclopedia. Does the gear oil need to be specific(75w140 example) or just high performance, etc. Thanks again.

    Good afternoon, I have a 1979 120 hp OMC with the 400 hydro- mechanical outdrive. I have looked thru other threads and can’t find that combo to find out what gear lube to use. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Buzz. Still trying to get a service Manual.

    120hp OMC model number

    Ok I just loosened both slot head screws on the starboard side of the drive and the only lube in there was on the end of the screw! I’m hoping it as just drained for the winter?

    Thanks Kenny, the unit is (to my knowledge) winterized can I still drain the upper gear housing or is this something I have to wait till spring?
