I think it is a 1995 or 96 model.

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
==================================
At some point in the 1990s, OMC, Merc, and Volvo eliminated the
clutch dog and went to the wet, cone clutch,. OMC and Volvo
collaborated together to design a lower unit to be used on both of their
drive lines. What year this took place, I don't recall, but if the
engine in question has the cone clutch, it is an identical lower unit
to the Volvo and the parts would be inter changeable. I don't know if
it would apply to the basic engine or not....
