Looking at a four winns 305 efi with a cobra drive. I'm assuming its a 260 hp motor. But the big question is are cobra drives as solid as the sx drives?

Re: 2005 cobra sx drive

The word Cobra ended in 98 when Omc ended. In 2005, there was nothing but SX. If the drive on a 2005 boat says Cobra on it, it's an older drive. Still an SX, just a used drive. Be sure of gear ratio.

Look on the port/forward part of the drive hiding behind the trim cylinder. There should be a tag with the drive info on it. What's on that tag?

Try a 1995. I am caught in the vortex of age. Is there a mechanical difference

Are you saying the boat is a 95 not a 2005? If so, it could be either the SX Cobra, or the OMC cobra dog clutch drive.

If it's called an SX, even as SX Cobra, it's the Volvo SX, with some OMC decals.
