OMC True Course steering shaft components???

[Boomyal]

Both the Seloc manual and an OMC parts catalogue refered to an oring to be installed with all the various washers, tension washers, bushings, clips yada yada yada.<br /><br />The oring is not pictured in the Seloc manual, I don't remember in the OMC parts breakdown where it went and I don't remember seeing one, or remnants thereof, when I pulled the thing apart a year ago.<br /><br />Any input here? I'd even be humble enough to accept it from any of you OMC un-appreciators. <br /><br />Incidently, the forward steering shaft bushing, which is a flimsy little nylon bushing, is no longer serviced. I probably could have reused mine but it had a corner breaking off the the split part. Luckily a local boat shop had 5 in stock.

Shoot me an email... kagee108@cs.com<br />I'll reply in the AM with a couple of scans. The O ring goes between the retainer and the cap.<br /><br />"I'd even be humble enough to accept it from any of you OMC un-appreciators."<br /><br />Remember "Little Rascals"? The "He-man Woman haters Club? I think we have our own version of that here.

Just got back from a lovely river cruise in my OMC Stringer powered scow... <br />man it runs quiet and smooth... passed by a guy with an old OMC boat too. His 40 year old Stringer still running strong..

Yeah hystat. all the others are just jealous that they can't have one too. <br /><br />They're so busy messing with gimbals, bellows, rotten mount stringer and transoms and alignments that they can't see the forest for the trees.<br /><br />Mine is now 30 y/o and I just had it gone thru for GP's. They did replace the water pump drive shafts which were showing wear.
