    OMC Cobra Problem coming out of gear

    I have a 1987 Bayliner 3255 Avanti with twin OMC Cobra 5.7's. I've been having trouble lately getting the port engine to come out of gear in both forward and reverse, although I notice it mostly in forward. Sometimes it comes out just fine, but other times, no go. I don't try to force it, but...

    Where should I post this?

    Sorry, but I'm not sure where to post this. I have an old (1993) Ocean Air 17000 BTU unit in my 32’ Bayliner Avanti. Last weekend I tried it for the first time this year. I’ve always had to prime the hose from the pump to the compressor, and this year, when I tried to use turn it on by hitting...

    Air conditioning unit failed

    I have an old (1993) Ocean Air 17000 BTU unit in my 32’ Bayliner Avanti. Last weekend I tried it for the first time this year. I’ve always had to prime the hose from the pump to the compressor, and this year, when I tried to use turn it on by hitting the “run” button after selecting the cooling...

    Humminbird keeps shutting off

    Has anyone ever had a case where a Humminbird keeps turning off after about 2-3 minutes of operation? It happens all the time and is aggravating. It was installed on the boat when I got it, so I don't know the exact wiring answers, but I could probably find out.<br />Thanks,<br />Steve

    VHF radio feedback

    Oops. I asked this question in another forum before seeing this one, so please forgive the double posting. First time out yesterday this season and have a couple of quick questions. My VHF radio has a feedback problem when I have the volvume turned down low. It's fine from about 3-10 on a scale...

    Etiquette

    Gotta ask this question. The lake I boat on(large western lake with about 2500 miles of shoreline) has more and more people using it. However, I've noticed what I would call a disregard for lake etiquette more and more lately. Actually, I expect it from jet skiiers, because usually these are...

    VHF and sealant

    First time out yesterday this season and have a couple of quick questions. My VHF radio has a feedback problem when I have the volvume turned down low. It's fine from about 3-10 on a scale of 1-10 but anything lower than a 3 and I get this horrible feedback coming from the speaker, and the lower...

    bubbles in the lower unit gear lube

    I changed the oil in my OMC 5.7's and the lower unit gear lube in my Cobra's today. I noticed when I drained the units that the gear lube had some very small bubbles in it, and when I refilled them, I think I noticed them again on the little dipstick at the top. The units have worked fine up to...

    Engine oil capacity in OMC 5.7

    I have read in the archives that the Alpha's need 6 quarts of oil in the engine, but can't find anything on the OMC units. Mine is a 1987 350, and the owner's manual is in the boat, 120 miles away. I want to buy the oil here before I go to change it this weekend. Anybody have an information on...
