Hey! thanks for the input!

I did a lot of searching and found mostly that the Problem with OMC
outdrives, is that they had shift cable problems, and seemed to take
some "special" know-how to get them adjusted.

But even with the corrective recalls and warrenty, only a few people
seemed to be impressed with the OMC "stinger" "Cobra" etc. etc.

here is just one of the many examples of what I read.
