I am new to boating and have the chance to buy a boat with a
OMC 175
Cobra stern drive.
1. Should I be concerned that OMC are no longer in business?
2. Is this motor a dependable motor.
3. Are part readilly available.
Anyone with and suggestion would be appreiciated.
Thanks
Noel
==================================
Not sure, but I think OMC and Volvo were using the same
outdrive at
this time, so the parts should be available thru Volvo, if
not thru OMC.
