Hello,
Anyone recommend an OMC Cobra mechanic to replace my Cobra Transom Seal?
Anyone have an estimate of how much this should cost?
I've just purchased an OMC Cobra 4.3L where the PO informed me that there is a very slow leak from the bottom of the transom plate. I've read all about the horror stories of transom rot and Cobra's being generally a bad purchase. However I really like the boat and I got a reasonable price, and the PO informed me that the boat has been very reliable and has no problems.
My previous boat was Reinell Mercruiser which I replaced the motor and many other things on, I just don't want to work on the OMC because I don't have the energy to pull another engine.
Before I get flamed for purchasing such a POS. I would like to note that I did a basic hammer test on the transom and it sounds solid all around. I think the problem has just begun and I'd like to catch it before it becomes serious...I hope.
Thanks in advance for any input!
