Hi All

I have a 1989 King Cobra sterndrive (the real King - 460 Ford engine) -
and have had constant issues with it. Because of the scarcity of
parts, it's costing a fortune. We've been sending it to Canada for
repairs which is a hassle.

Does anyone know of a good mechanic in the US (southeast would be idea,
I am in NC) who works on these? Thanks for your help!

Shari

Can't help you with a contact.

There have been various transom adapter plates that allowed you to
replace other drives with mercs. I suspect you could probably wrangle
a way to mate a merc bravo up to your 460 but it would be a whole lot
simpler to use the present king, the chevy 502 :-)
