Vib-E, I happen to have a customer boat equipped Cobra drive at the shop now. I'll take a look at his drive tomorrow to see if I can be of any help. Seems to me last time I had to address this issue that OMC didn't show any available components for that piece of hardware on their parts breakdown. It's been a while though....not sure yet. Mike

Well that's a good find ! The factory's exploded view doesn't show those components at all. The internet & eBay comes through again.....

The cost of replacement parts these days is astounding sometimes. I was trying to find a starter mounted solenoid for a customer's 90 HP Honda outboard this morning. MSRP was a whopping $ 188.00. It's available through online vendors for just a little bit less. Prices like that make it very hard for a dealer to justify the investment in their inventory to service a customer's needs right away. Mike

Ok I thought that was yours. Still looks good. That’s a job. Did that myself once with my Dad. What a fun experience. Still have those rod holders and track for you if you still need them.

Hey Vibe. I took my outdrive off and found the back plate to mine. I couldn’t believe it was sitting right there by the port hole. I got it back on and will never take that out again. Have to have some cables replaced or adjusted. My boat won’t slip into reverse. I know for a fact it’s the cables. So I m gonna get that fixed and should be ready for the water. You have yours out. Anxious to hear how your boat does.
