    5.0 omc outdrive on a 5.7 liter motor? Will it work?

    I am looking to see if a omc cobra outdrive for a 5.0 liter motor will work on a 5.7 liter motor. What's the ins and outs, what can I expect the difference to be and are they even compatible? Thanks for any info guys.

    A TINNY I would even be intersted in.

    Usually I would say if it looks like a glasser, it is a glasser. Not sure I would say that with this boat. I like it. :)NEW BUILD American 26 - The Hull Truth - Boating and Fishing Forum

    Just a reminder, top off your batteries.

    :) I topped my batteries off today, they were pretty low. i am assuming it is from charging them with the on board charger a few times through the winter. But thought it would be a good reminder since I haven't seen it come up in a while. Use distilled water, its only like .98 a gallon.:)

    Very COOL rod/beer holders

    Saw these installed on a fellow seahawk owners boat and thought they were very cool. Going to have to get some of these for my rigg! Anytime something acts as a dual purpose on a boat, thats a good thing in my book.
