    Off season maintenance on OMC 800 outdrive

    I'm thinking about taking some time to tinker with my l984 OMC 800 outdrive. It works very well, but it leaks somewhere in the lower gearcase and possibly farther up the drivetrain than that. It also has a little more slop in the steering than I like, so I'd like to do something about that too...

    Change pitch on stainless steel prop?

    I've got a l984 23' Proline walkaround cuddy with 3.8 v6 OMC I/O. I recently put on a stainless prop with the same 15" diameter by 17" pitch as me aluminum prop. Since then the rpms have dropped to a max of 3900-4000, instead of the 4200-4600 they should be. My speed has also dropped. Can I have...

    What type of oil is used in marine compass?

    I have a Ritchie compass on my boat that needs to have the oil replaced. I filled it with mineral oil, but the card moves too slowly to use it.

    external raw water pump on a OMC stringer system

    I have a l984 OMC model 800 stringer system. I'm thinking of putting a raw water pump mounted on the front of the engine (3.8) to facilitate easier impeller changes. Anybody know what works well, and would it do any harm to add this pump and leave the old outdrive impeller right where it is?<br...

    OMC stringer system trim

    I have a l984 OMC stringer system with a 3.8 v-6 engine. The system has the hydraulic cylinders in the front of the engine. I need to replace the valve body but I can't find anyplace where I can get a new one. I have thought about adapting a Mercruiser power trim pump to the boat as another...
