Title: **NOT GLASTRON QUESTION***
Post by: Diamond Chad on June 04, 2025, 11:48:43 AM

Hi, I know this is not a glastron question, but what am I looking at here?  I know its a 4.3, but I don't recognize the risers, or the upper drive shape.... but the bottom part of the drive sure looks like a merc.  I know many of you have the answer.   Thanks!  Chad

Yep ...  OMC Cobra
Had one on a Four Winn's
Rich told me Volvo got design from OMC and modded it into modern Volvo drives
Back in early 2000's it was easy to get parts for them .. Not sure about now

I wonder if they kept the same keyhole in newer Volvo's?  In case a re-power were in this lady's future.

What year is the boat?    What year did those cobra outdrive come out?   It looks like an older boat with newer outdrive?    In other words. I have no clue.  :)
