Tim,

Are OMC sterndrives even still in production? I thought that they'd sold
their sterndrive business to Volva Penta. That would make them an orphan
whereas the Merc sterndrives are still in production. If you get an Alpha
1 gen II Merc drive they are common as dirt, and the parts are obtainable just
about anywhere, including on the web.

YMMV,

Don W.

Doesn't matter,

I did some "googling" and found out a bunch of stuff on OMC...

To me it's a no go. according to all I've read,t hey're rather
unreliable, and the parts are expensive (compared to merc) and harder
to work on to get the job done right.

If anything else, thanks for looking
