Guy on e-bay has the factory manual for year specific omc manuals. He is in Long island NY. Seloc second best is what I have. Wish I waited and spent the few extra bucks for the factory originals.

Thanks Chiefalen...i contacted the guy. Another question....to replace the bellows, you have to use a hinge pin removal tool...at least for mercs you do.....i never see them available on searches, all that comes up is the merc tool...will the merc tool work?

Geeez...you I/O guys can get pretty brutal Best post I saw was from Bubba...shop Craigslist (often) and be patient. People literally give things away. And not all of them include a boat with big holes, powerhead missing and rusty trailer with flat tires.

Can be a great resource to get some spares. I see OMC listed often on dead boats for cheap.

Cheers!
